Instructions
Prep a cookie sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
Peel and slice bananas. I prefer the banana chunks to be about 1/2" - 3/4" thick. Set aside.
Melt chocolate in microwave by short bursts (30 seconds, stir, 20 seconds & stir, repeat until melted - a few rounds should do it) or via bain marie.
Using two forks, dip banana pieces in chocolate. Shake off excess and set on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
Insert lollipop stick in center of chocolate covered banana.
Place 3 M&M's® on top, around lollipop stick. Or roll in/sprinkle on jimmies or crushed peanuts. (Optional)
Freeze for a few hours before serving.
To serve, remove from freezer, let sit for about 5 minutes before eating. Must be eaten immediately. These pops would not travel well.
These banana pops can be stored in the freezer for weeks if covered. I've made these 2-3 days ahead of serving time and left them on the cookie sheet (uncovered, oops) and they were great. Enjoy :)
