Frozen Chocolate Dipped Bananas

Mmmmm these are good! You can use your imagination here as far as the toppings go. I used sprinkles, chopped walnuts and toffee bits. The kids loved the sprinkles (my fav too) and the toffee covered were the favorite of the adults. Choose bananas that are small to medium in size and ripe but still firm. These are very easy and couldn't be tastier!




6 small bananas
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
12 craft sticks
toppings (sprinkles, finely chopped nuts, toffee bits etc...)

Peel bananas and cut in half crosswise. Insert craft stick into cut side of banana. Place on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Freeze bananas 2-3 hours or overnight. Melt chocolate over a double boiler. Put each topping on a seperate small plate. Remove bananas from freezer. Dip into melted chocolate and roll in desired topping. Return to freezer immediately until ready to serve.

Frozen Cookie Dough


Try doubling cookie recipes and freezing part of the dough. Have homemade cookies anytime without the mess! You can store the dough in your freezer for up to 3 months. Though in my house there is no way it would last that long ;)


Scoop prepared cookie dough in whatever size you desire onto a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet in freezer. Once dough has frozen transfer to a freezer bag. When you are ready to bake place frozen dough balls on cookie sheet and allow to defrost for about 15-25 minutes (defrost time will depend on the size of your dough). Bake according to recipe. They are also delicious straight out of the freezer and into your mouth ;)
