CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA POPS

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*

INGREDIENTS:

4 bananas
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

DIRECTIONS:
Peel the bananas and cut in half across to get 2 short
pieces of banana. Insert a Popsicle stick into each banana
half for a handle. Wrap each banana half in a piece of
aluminum foil and place in the freezer for at least 4 to
6 hours until frozen solid. Place the cream in a small
saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Remove from the heat. Place the chocolate chips in a medium
bowl, then carefully pour the hot cream over the chips.
Let the chocolate and cream sit for a minute or two, then
stir with a small spoon until blended and chocolate is
completely melted. Remove the bananas from the freezer
and unwrap. Cover a small baking sheet with wax paper or
aluminum foil.

Holding the stick, dip one banana half in the melted
chocolate until completely coated. Sprinkle the coated
banana with about 1 tablespoon of the nuts and set the
banana on the covered baking sheet. Repeat with the
remaining bananas. Serve immediately, or place in the
freezer until ready to serve.

Yield: Makes 8 servings
