FROZEN CHOCOLATE-COVERED BANANAS
The secret to whipping up the best-ever frozen bananas is to freeze the bananas both before and after dunking them in your chocolate of choice. Doing so ensures the bananas are completely frozen and gives the chocolate a solid surface to grab onto. It also firms up the chocolate much more quickly, so make sure you have those toppings ready. And speaking of toppings...A few of my favorites include: sprinkles, chopped nuts, toasted coconut, toffee chips, crushed candies ...but don't stop there! A drizzle of melted peanut butter or chopped bacon would be welcome complements to this frozen treat.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Peel the bananas and then slice them in half widthwise. Carefully insert an ice-pop stick into the bottom of each banana, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the bananas for 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a deep metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl of chocolate and set it aside.
- Remove the bananas from the freezer. Dip a banana in the chocolate, smoothing it over the entirety of the banana with a spoon. Immediately sprinkle the banana with the assorted sprinkles, crushed candy or pretzel pieces, then return it to the baking sheet. Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining bananas. Return them to the freezer for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Serve immediately or store the bananas in an airtight container in the freezer.

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.
