30 Minute Meals

5 bananas
8 popsicle sticks
3 cups good quality chocolate bar (I use Ghirardeli dark chocolate chips)
3 tablespoons butter, cut up

Toppings: Chopped nuts, Toasted coconut, Cookie crumbles, Colored sprinkles or chocolate jimmies, Mini chocolate candies or mini semi sweet chips, Granola, or crushed candybar
(nuts were my favorite)

Peel and cut the bananas in half crosswise, so that you have 8 pieces. Place peeled bananas on sticks. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place bananas on the cookie sheet in the freezer, keep them in there as long as possible, at least 10 minutes. Heat chocolate bits with butter in a double boiler over low heat until the chocolate melts and butter is incorporated. (I microwaved the chocolate chips 1 minute at a time, stirring until melted)

Dip the chilled bananas in chocolate and roll with your favorite topping. Chill or freeze until ready to serve.
