Chocolate Monkey Tales!



4 bananas, cut in half
8 popsicle sticks
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
2 T coconut oil
chopped nuts, sprinkles, etc.

Line a backing sheet with parchment or wax paper.  Cut Bananas in half and insert popsicle sticks.  Put in the freezer and let freeze overnight or  until frozen solid.  

Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler.  Add vanilla and coconut oil.  Stir until smooth.

Coat frozen bananas with chocolate.  I have found using a spoon helps.  Work quickly so that bananas don't thaw.  

After each banana is coated with chocolate, add chopped nuts or sprinkles.  Do this quickly, the coconut oil makes the chocolate set very fast.

Bananas should be ready to eat right away, or you can put them in the freezer for later.  Don't do more than 4 bananas.  The last 2 I did were starting to thaw and I ran out of chocolate.  The white ones on the end were my Yogurt Monkey Tails.
