It’s officially southern Illinois summer here…aka hot and muggy! And this healthy dessert is perfect for the warmer weather! When I made these last week my husband wouldn’t even let them set up before he started eating them and then I had to beg him not to eat them all! So let’s just say these are a family favorite now!
Frozen Banana Split Bites
Step 1: slice up some bananas and place on cookie sheet. Then slice small strawberries into circular slices and place on top. Stick a popsicle stick into the strawberries and bananas and freeze for at least 30 minute.
Step 2: While the bananas and strawberries are freezing, make chocolate magic shell (recipe below).
Step 3: Take strawberries and bananas out of the freezer and dip them into the magic shell. I like to dip, let the chocolate harden, and dip them again. Depending on how thick the chocolate coat is going on, I might do it up to 3 times.
Step 4: Place in freezer for at least 2 hours. After they are completely frozen, stick them in a zip lock bag in the freezer and enjoy later (if you can hold out)!

These are super delicious… I might even be eating one as I write this! What are your favorite treats for summer?
I party here…
How long do you think they’ll last in the freezer? Think I can do them a week before an ‘ice cream’ theme party? Such a great idea!
These sound yummy! I just found your blog through the link party on Craft-O-Maniac. Love it-I am following via RSS Feed now.
