Chocolate-Peanut Butter Dipped Banana Pops

Chocolate.  Peanut Butter.  Bananas.  Are you kidding me? 

taken from Simple Bites.

3 bananas
1 c. chocolate chips
2 Tbl. peanut butter
chopped peanuts (optional)
wooden popsicle sticks (this makes it easier to dip, but you can get by without them)
parchment or waxed paper


Peel bananas and cut into three pieces.  Insert popsicle sticks (if using) and place on a parchment lined pan in the freezer.  Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in microwave-safe dish and microwave on medium power for a minute or two.  Stir until smooth.

Pour melted chocolate into a tall, narrow glass or container.  Remove bananas from freezer and dip, one by one, into the chocolate, coating the banana.  Place on tray and sprinkle with nuts (if using).  Return to freezer until solid, usually about 30-60 minutes.  Remove from freezer a few minutes before serving.
