2 T sprinkles (chocolate sprinkles work best)

Yield
2 servings
Preparation time
15

Notes

You will also need 2 popsicle sticks and a shallow dish to roll the banana in the topping. You can coat the banana in different toppings: brown sugar and cinnamon, very finely chopped nuts, wheat germ, cocoa, or ordinary sprinklers.

Chocolate dipped banana popsicles.

If you wish to make banana pops in larger quantities, or you are going to cook with older children, cover the bananas in melted chocolate instead of honey. It is easier to spread.

You will need to rest the popsicles on a grid until the chocolate sets again. Chocolate dipped banana popsicles can also be frozen as a summer treat.
