This is the best summer treat by far I have made this year. Frozen Banana Monkey Tails are so easy to make and good for you too. No need to feel guilty indulging in this summer treat. Only two ingredients and you have a frozen treat everyone in the family will love.
Frozen Banana Monkey Tail Dessert
Ingredients for Banana Monkey Tail Treats
3-5 Long bananas
1 Cup Chocolate Chips or more (I used dark chocolate)
Sprinkles, coconut, nuts any toppings you wish
Twice as many wooden skewers as bananas (affiliate links used in post)
A glass mason jar or glass bowl to melt chocolate
Directions How to Make Banana Monkey Tail Treats
1. Purchase 3-5 long bananas. The longer the better, since these will be cut in half. I choose to buy organic.
2. Next peel all of the bananas and cut in half.
Insert a skewer into each banana half where cut. Then freeze the bananas on a parchment lined pan.
3. In a heat proof jar or bowl melt the chocolate. I like to use a mason jar in the microwave for 30 sec then heat for 10 sec increments until all the chocolate is melted. This can also be done with a mason jar in pan of water on the stove. Use the best way you like to melt chocolate.
4. Dip the frozen bananas into the melted chocolate holding on to the skewer. I used a small spatula to help get the chocolate all over the bananas. Working quickly add toppings, the chocolate starts to set up fast. Add sprinkles, coconut or nuts. Whatever toppings you wish.
5. Place in the freezer again until ready to serve.

Enjoy Frozen Banana Monkey Tail Treats
I always like a little dessert after dinner. These frozen banana monkey tail treats really satisfy my sweet tooth. Truly a dessert treat you can feel good about eating. A fun frozen treat for a hot summer day. Seriously no guilt here. Everyone in my family loved these. OK, they raved about them. I consider this a miracle, since everyone in my family rarely agrees on anything. We loved them so much I have already made a second batch. We at the first batch way too quickly.

These look so refreshing for a hot summer day! Using a mason jar is a great idea to make dipping easy. I think brown rice cereal would make a great topping as well. Visiting from the Weekend Potluck!
Thanks for visiting. Brown Rice does sound good. There are so many possibilities with these.
These look so delicious! My kids (and I!) would love them. Visiting from Tatertots and Jello!
I have never tried frozen bananas, but after seeing these I want to. Thanks for sharing at the Monday Funday Party. – Emily
