I thought I'd leave you with one last treat before I sign off for a little bit! ;)
I have always had an affinity for frozen bananas...I grew up in Newport Beach where they make the most amazing frozen bananas down on Balboa Island at "Dad's". I love the option with all the fixings on top and decided it would be the perfect summer treat to recreate!
They're actually quite easy to make too, which is a plus! First, you need to prepare the bananas. I cut mine in half and skewered with a straw {a popsicle stick would work too}. Then set out your toppings. Dad's uses crushed peanuts, almonds, oreos, sprinkles and toffee {I did not use the toffee}. Combine on a dinner plate so it's set to cover the bananas. Melt 4 oz chocolate chips in the microwave and then add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and stir. This gives the chocolate a nice consistency for dipping the banana. Carefully dip one banana at a time and cover in the topping. Repeat for each banana. Allow to freeze for about 4-5 hours.
This is honestly one of my FAVORITE desserts and just perfect for the summer.
Hope you enjoy!! Bon Appetit!
