Summer is here (supposedly) and that means yummy frozen treats like ice cream and popsicles are well on their way. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good ice cream cone on a hot summer night but it’s not realistic for me to eat that 2 times per week. These chocolate dipped frozen banana’s used to be a staple in my household growing up. My sisters and I would always be making these all year with or without the chocolate and we felt like we were getting a special treat when really we were just having a piece of fruit (jokes on us!) Store a bag of these in your freezer and you’ll be set the next time you have that sweet craving.
