I love bake, cook or do crafts with my kids whenever they are free, especially my daughter. Spring break is here and it’s a perfect time to have some fun together.  I love to do them with my son too, but I think he has “outgrown” that stage…Well, he would still cook some noodles for himself as he loves them. These banana pops are super easy and they made a great healthy snack. It can get a little messy with the melted chocolate but that’s the best part mom, right ?!  Our favourite topping is the maple roasted pecans,  you can find the recipe here…..Carrot Spelt Muffins with Maple Roasted Pecans. 

Makes about 12-16 pops

• 300 g semi-sweet or dark chocolate 
• 3-4 bananas (Do not use bananas that are too ripe, otherwise they will be too soft to work with)
• Toppings of choice (sprinkles, roasted nuts, shredded coconut, etc) 

1. Place toppings in separate dishes 
   
2. Melt chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water, cool slightly 
3. Slice bananas into big chunks 
4. With the help of a fork, coat banana chunks with melted chocolate, tap off excess 
5. Roll in desired toppings 
6. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper 
7. Insert popcicle sticks 
8. Freeze until frozen
