Banana Pops

These Banana Pops are a cinch to make, and perfect for an afterschool / after-distance learning snack!

Simply cut a banana in half, stick a lollipop stick in the bottom, dip in chocolate (I used a mixture of 1 T PB + 1 cup chocolate melted on high for 90 seconds in the microwave for a nice pb / chocolate mixture), and top with granola (I used yukonola).

Freeze for at least an hour, and enjoy!

Chocolate and Granola-Covered Banana Pops

These Chocolate and Granola-Covered Banana Pops are an easy, yummy treat to make for an after school snack, or even dessert!

 All you do is dip 1-inch slices of banana into melted chocolate, and cover with granola!

I sliced up two bananas, and dipped in 3 squares of melted almond bark (microwaved on high for 60 seconds; I still had lots of chocolate left over, so you could try and melt just 2 squares).  I then used a 1/4 cup of granola to sprinkle on each pop.

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Easy!

The granola gives a nice texture to the yummy banana pops!
