- Spread the peanuts on a plate. Run hot water over the ice pops to help loosen them, then unmold, roll them in the peanuts and serve (or keep them frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet until ready to serve).

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the ice pops will be.
- Use good quality chocolate: The better the quality of chocolate, the better the ice pops will taste. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
- Don't overfill the popsicle molds: Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each mold so that the ice pops have room to expand as they freeze.
- Freeze the ice pops for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will ensure that they are completely frozen and solid.
- To remove the ice pops from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds: This will help to loosen them up so that they can be easily removed.

These banana nut chocolate ice pops are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for a hot summer day. They are also a great way to use up overripe bananas.
