Ingredients

For the Frozen Banana Chocolate Pops:

• 3 bananas, ripe
• 2 Tbsp. dark chocolate Nutchello
• 2 tsp. cocoa powder

• 4 popsicle sticks

Instructions

1. Throw together everything but the peanuts into a high speed blend until completely smooth.
2. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 1-2 hours until semi-firm.
3. Place sticks into the pops. They should be able to stand on their own. Freeze several hours until completely firm.
4. Place the mold under warm for easy removal.
5. Dip into the crushed peanuts.
6. Using melted chocolate as the glue, add the googly eyes, chocolate discs, cookie and jelly bean for the completion of the face.
7. Freeze until firm again or eat right away.

Either way you make them (dog-shaped or not), these pops are the perfect, less-of-the-sugar treats for your kids. So I dare you to make them and not love them.
