Active: 20 min/Total: 20 min (plus at least 2 hr freezing)

Directions:

1. To make a bunch of these tempting treats, cut 4 firm, ripe bananas in half and insert a Popsicle stick halfway into each one. 2. Set the pops on a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 1 hour.

3. In a small saucepan over very low heat, stir together 1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of canola oil until melted.

4. Place toppings, such as shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and sprinkles, in individual bowls.

5. One at a time, remove the pops from the freezer and, holding them over the saucepan, spoon the chocolate over them. Roll each chocolate-covered banana in a topping, then return it to the freezer to harden for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Serves 8.
