Chocolate-banana lollipops

YOU LIKE?
Have you ever craved something sweet, but at the same time something healthy? Searching through drawers, cupboards, jars labelled 'random leftovers' - i have done all that too. And this fun and easy treat is just perfect for those unexpected cravings.

If you don't have any sticks, it's time to visit a coffee shop, if you know what I mean. I was having a nice cup of coffee on Saturday morning, and realised that it's the perfect time to make them, as I can borrow a few stirring sticks. You can use forks if you want to!

YOU BUY:
1 banana
100g dark chocolate

YOU HAVE:
Anything you can dip the chocolate bananas into:
chopped nuts, coconut, cocoa, cinnamon??

YOU MAKE:

1) Slice the banana into cylinder chunks, pierce with the sticks and put in the freezer for 20 minutes;
2) Melt the chocolate in a 'double-boiler' (a bowl in a pan of water on low heat);
3) Dip the bananas in chocolate and roll in your choice of sprinkles. Keep in the fridge or freeze them.
