Afterschool snacks for hungry kids are one of the toughest terrains for parents to navigate.
These chocolate and granola covered frozen bananas are a healthy snack that eat like a frozen pop with a hit of chocolate.
Frozen Chocolate Granola Bananas
Start to finish: 20 minutes, plus freezing; Servings: 4
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate bits
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 bananas
1 cup granola
Line a small pan with waxed paper.
Bring a small saucepan of water (about 1 inch) to a simmer. In a bowl, combine the chocolate bits and orange juice. Place the bowl over the pan of simmering water. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
Peel bananas, then cut each in half crosswise. Insert a fork into one end of each piece. Dip each banana into the chocolate, using a spoon to scoop the chocolate over the banana to make sure it is covered. Roll the banana in the granola, then place the forked and coated bananas on the prepared pan. Freeze.
