Chocolate Banana Pops

Yummy CHOCOLATE BANANA POPS

This is a great treat for the kids to make....and for everyone to eat.

What You'll Need:

- 1 ripe banana

- 2 cups of milk

- 1 box of chocolate fudge instant pudding mix

- 1 container of vanilla yogurt

- 9 waxed cups (the small 5 oz size)

- 9 craft/popcicle sticks

- 1 small baking dish

The How To:

-First, put the cups in the baking dish. This is to help them stay up while freezing and make easier to move them.

- Next in a bowl mix the pudding mix and the milk in a bowl for about 2 minutes. Let it sit in the fridge for about 5 minutes.

- Then in a different small bowl mush the banana up with a fork and then add the yogurt to it. And mix it up.

- Now, put a couple of spoon-full's of pudding in each little cup.

- Then put a couple of spoon-full's of the yogurt in each little cup.

-And if there is any extra pudding and extra room in your cups fill with the remaining pudding.

- Be sure to gently tap the baking dish with all the cups in it on the counter to help level out the pudding/yogurt mixture.

- Then put one of the craft/popcicle sticks in the center of each cup.

- Pop the banana pops in the freezer for about 2 hours or until they are frozen/firm.

- To eat, just peel the paper cup off of the banana pop and then enjoy!

Peep Pops

I am not the biggest Peeps fan, but I just couldn’t resist how cute they look when dipped in chocolate!

So here is one for all you Peep lovers.  =)

What You’ll Need:

- Dipping chocolate or chocolate bark (I used milk and white chocolate)

- Peeps

- Lollipop sticks (found at craft stores) or other type of sticks (I used some wooden skewers I had on hand and cut the pointy tip off of them)

- Various sprinkles

The How To:

- First melt your chocolate according to the directions on the package.

- Then dip the end of the stick into the chocolate to help the peep stay on the stick better.

- Let it cool a little bit before sticking your peep on the end of it.

- Next using a spoon put the chocolate all over the peep.

- To help smooth out the chocolate and to make it cover the peep evenly I tapped the stick on the side of my bowl to help the excess drip off the peep.

- When it stopped dripping I then spooned/ shook/ or sprinkled the different sprinkles on the chocolate peep.  (to help avoid a big mess and waisting all your sprinkles, place a bowl/plate/ or other dish under it as you ad sprinkles)

- I placed them upright while they dried/hardened.  I used a paper cup and poked some holes in it with the sticks.  You could also use some styrofoam to stick them in (but I didn’t have that on hand so I opted for a paper cup)

- As soon as they are hardened you can enjoy them!  =)
