Steps:
- Dipping decorations: granola, chopped nuts, sprinkles, jimmies, crushed cookies, and toasted coconut
- Line a sheet pan with waxed paper. Cut 1-inch off the end of each banana. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut-end of each banana, pushing the stick halfway in, leaving the other end exposed for use as a handle. Place the bananas on the sheet pan and freeze 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.
- Arrange the dipping decorations on several flat plates. Working with 1 banana at a time, dip it in the chocolate and turn to completely coat (spoon some on, if needed). Roll the dipped banana in the desired decorations, transfer to the sheet pan, and return to the freezer.
- Once frozen, store the bananas in an airtight container.
- Serving suggestion: To serve at a kid's party, paint a hunk of styrofoam and stick the banana handles in the top, so they stand upright.
CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA POPS
Steps:
- Peel, then cut each banana in half crosswise and insert a craft stick into each half. Place on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen, about 3 hours.
- Place the peanuts in a shallow dish or on a plate. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the top pan. Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass. Dip each frozen banana into the chocolate, turning it to coat, and immediately roll in the peanuts. Place on a tray covered in waxed paper. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm bananas. Overripe bananas will be too mushy and difficult to dip and coat.
- Use high-quality chocolate for dipping. The better the chocolate, the better the final product will taste.
- If you don't have lollipop sticks, you can use wooden skewers or popsicle sticks instead.
- To make the chocolate coating thinner, add a little bit of vegetable oil or shortening.
- To make the chocolate coating thicker, melt it over a double boiler or in the microwave in short increments, stirring in between.
- If you want to add toppings to your bananas, such as nuts, sprinkles, or coconut, do so immediately after dipping them in chocolate, while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place the chocolate-dipped bananas on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.
