Frozen Banana Pops

Dip into summer with these easy, fun treats that can be customized to suit your tastes. Follow our basic technique, browse our suggestions for toppings and enjoy these cool pops!

• Choose firm-ripe bananas — they’re easier to work with and can better support the dips and toppings.
• Peel and then cut each banana in half crosswise. Insert a Popsicle stick, craft stick, chopstick or straw into each half. Take your time, so you don’t split the banana!
• If you have time, place the bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and stick them in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will help the toppings stick to the bananas.
• Dip bananas in melted chocolate or caramel, or carefully spread them with nut butter or yogurt.
• Place toppings in shallow bowls; roll dipped bananas in the toppings, using your hands, if necessary, to make sure the banana gets well-coated. Return to the parchment-lined pan and freeze until solid, about 3 hours.
• Enjoy right away or store in a sealed container in the freezer for 2 weeks.
