Banana Bites

I had a surplus of bananas last week. This is the first time this has ever happened that I remember; fruit disappears very quickly in our home. Even when I buy it by the box! I debated as to whether to allow the bananas to mature into cooking bananas or use them for something else. I chose the 'something else' and made these bite sized treats.

I cut up each (large) banana into 5 pieces and stuck a toothpick into each banana piece. I then tossed them all into a freezer bag, tied a knot at the top of the bag and put it in the freezer overnight. The night morning I melted some chocolate chips (30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring the chocolate each time it came out of the microwave) , dipped each banana piece in the chocolate and then into hundreds and thousands. I laid them out onto a tray lined with baking paper and put them back into the freezer until I deemed it treat time!
My children loved these! I must point out that I used very robust bamboo toothpicks; they were more like small, two pronged forks. I must get some more of them before I run out, only to find that they are no longer being made!

These would be fantastic at a birthday party, provided bananas are in season!

    I also am going to do one of the frame projects as we as you always have special art to display. :)
    It's a great idea, as yes, where do you display it 'all'?

  3. What a great idea to use up bananas, especially with summer in our doorsteps. They look so pretty all lined up covered in hundreds and thousands.
