| Things are not looking good for this bunny |
This confectionery abundance of over 6 pounds (tested out the new scale) would have been great news back when I was riding around town on my Schwinn and could survive solely on refined sugars. But these days a couple bites of candy per week is more than enough sweets for me. So what were we to do with this pile of candy that included 5 Russell Stover chocolate bunnies (there must have been a sale somewhere)?
I considered giving some candy to the local kids who run around the alley behind our place, but quickly realized that would put me on the unsympathetic end of an after-school special. One day an idea dawned on me while watching TV and eating a frozen banana, ‘I should make frozen bananas,’ so I bout some bananas, scrounged up some popsicle sticks and fired up the double boiler.
Ingredients and Tools
- 12-16 oz Chocolate, preferably in bunny form
- 6-8 Bananas
- 12-16 clean popsicle sticks (new or used) the other blogger had some leftover in her craft supplies
- Double boiler, or a sauce pan and metal bowl
- Cookie sheet
- Cookie spatula
- Parchment or wax paper
- Peel the bananas (preferable monkey style) and cut in half
- Insert a popsicle stick into cut end of the bananas
- Place the bananas on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or wax paper
- Put the cookie sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours
- Fire up the double boiler on low heat, 3 or 4 out of 10
- Slowly melt the chocolate while continually stirring with a cookie spatula
- Dunk a frozen banana in the chocolate and coat using the spatula, put the banana back in the freezer (I wound up taking one banana out at a time)
- If you run out of bananas, coat some strawberries or pretzels actually anything taste good covered in chocolate
- Let the chocolate freeze for a bit and enjoy
