Ingredients
Banana, fresh, 4 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long) *chocolate dip ( 1.4 oz. cups ), 1 serving*Fisher Nut Topping - Mixed Nut, 4 tbsp
Directions
The longest thing you have to do is freezing your bananas before you dip them.

So to do so...Start with 4 medium/large bananas (whatever you have on hand), peel and cutt them in half. Once that is done, pop your popsicle sticks about half way through
(Placing the sticks in the banana at a slight angle on the side while sliding them upward helps them go in clean without breaking the banana.)

These 8 banana pops will go into the freezer for an hour, but longer is fine too (if you forget about them).

Once they are done freezing, warm your pouched chocolate dip in hot water placed in a bowl. (You can find this dip in your local supermarket in the fruit and veggie section but if you cannot find it your ordinary chocolate sauce will do just fine).

While that heats up and melts. Place paper plates out with 8 flattened cupcake liners down with your frozen banana down on each prepped and ready to go.

When your chocolate is heated up and melted completely pour it into a platic cup that is doubled up (2 cups together), so you can dip.

One by one hold onto your banana pops and dip the banana down into the chocolate and swirl until evenly coated. Place the dipped banana onto your already prepped cupcake liners and quickly sprinkle about 1/2 TBSP of chopped nuts onto the pops.

Once you have done so you can individually pack the pops in their own plastic baggy for a grab and go treat. It makes 8 nice size pops.

If you cannot have nuts or don't like them, you can add whatever topping you like (Sprinkles, chocolate chips, coconut, etc.). It is all about what you feel like or will feel like treating yourself to without feeling too guilty. Don't worry this treat will hit every taste bud and make you feel naughty without your hips feeling it too.

Enjoy!
