Can you put a banana in the freezer?

Yes, you sure can put a banana in the freezer. In fact right as they are turning brown, I will place them in the freezer so they will not go bad. I cut them in half and put the skewer in for monkey tails. When I have enough to make a batch all I need to do is melt the chocolate.

What can I do with a lot of frozen bananas?

If you peeled them and cut them in half you can still make chocolate covered bananas. Follow the directions below and enjoy. You may not be able to put them on a stick if already frozen. If you cut them in to bite size pieces you can drizzle them with melted chocolate and extra toppings to have bite size chocolate banana treats.

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

Equipment I recommend:

Twice as many  wooden skewers as bananas

A glass mason jar or glass bowl to melt chocolate

Directions How to Make Monkey Tails

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.

Do frozen bananas taste good?

Of course it is a healthy frozen treat you can enjoy. 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.

With summer being so hot here in Texas this is a fun frozen treat. Seriously, no guilt here. Everyone in my family loves these. OK, they raved about them. I consider this a miracle, since everyone in my family rarely agrees on anything, ever. We loved them so much I have already made a second batch. We at the first batch way too quickly.

Do frozen bananas taste good?

I think they taste fantastic. Less calories than regular ice cream treats and good for you too. Frozen bananas dipped in chocolate taste even better. You can even cut them up and freeze them for smoothies like an apple pie smoothie.
