Recipe notes:
General: Decorating bananas is easier when they're frozen solid so work quickly. Or, if you'd like to work at a slower pace, keep some in the freezer and take out just the ones you're decorating. Bananas: Big bananas will work best for this recipe, small ones do the trick but can be harder to work with. Also, really overripe bananas tend to be mushy which can make them hard to use for pops. Coconut oil: This ingredient is ultimately optional. However, adding a bit of coconut oil to melted chocolate makes it so much easier to spread and drizzle! Candy eyeballs: Some grocery stores might have candy eyes (especially closer to Halloween). However, you're more likely to find them at a craft store. You can also get Decorative candy eyes on Amazon.Instructions
- Cut bananas in half horizontally to create four pieces, then cut each of the 4 pieces in half again (lengthwise) to create 8 total pops.2 large bananas
- Add a popsicle stick to each banana. Arrange on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for about an hour, until solid.
- Add dark chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl along with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Add white chips to a separate bowl with ½ teaspoon of coconut oil.¾ cup dark chocolate chips, ⅓ cup white chocolate chips, 1 & ½ teaspoons coconut oil
- Microwave chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring in-between. Work slowly so you don't accidentally burn your chocolate.
- Once bananas are frozen, cover each pop with dark chocolate and add two candy eyes.1 package candy eyeballs
- Drizzle white chocolate diagonally above and below the candy eyeballs. Change up your angle and continue on to create a wrapped appearance.
- Enjoy immediately or place bananas back in the freezer for later!
How to store:
- Freeze your mummy pops in an airtight container for up 2 months. These treats don't keep that well in the refrigerator because the banana becomes mushy and wet inside.
