Quick Meals with Stu Paprocki ep. 3 - Frozen Honey Banana Pops

  • 10 years ago
While I was rolling these bananas around in honey and nuts I thought a lot about my old neighbor Mitch and his family.

Ingredients:
• 4 ripe Bananas
• 8 Craft Sticks (take it from me, don't try to break 4 sticks in half unless you have a pair of tweezers close by)
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/3 cup Chopped Nuts
• 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
• 1/3 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs

Bio:
I thought a cooking reality show would be my ticket to culinary fame, but the whole experience was a disappointment. Since then I have quit my job in a commercial kitchen and decided to start making my own cooking show, QUICK MEALS. This is episode 3, enjoy snack time :)

Home is where the heart is, and good food brings family and friends together around the table. That's what I'm all about and that's what I want QUICK MEALS to be all about.

Recipe:
Start off by peeling your four bananas. Then cut them in half cross-wise. Insert a craft stick into each banana half, through the cut end. Place the bananas on a wax paper-lined tray and put them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

After the bananas have chillaxed for at least 30 minutes, take them out of the freezer. Drizzle the bananas with honey (do it over the tray so you don't make a mess). After the bananas are thoroughly covered with honey, begin to roll your bananas in your toppings of choice (you can roll each banana in all three toppings or focus on one topping per banana, I prefer the former).

After you've covered each banana with toppings, it's time to put them back in the freezer for a 15-minute flash freeze (this is going to lock your toppings in place).

In 15 minutes open the freezer. Inside you'll find 8 Frozen Honey Banana Pops. I'm going bananas just thinking about them! This is a quick and easy after-school/work snack that your family and friends will love.

I guarantee these pops will make your taste buds PAP!
