Making nutritious snacks can be a challenge at times but your child is going to love making this cool banana treat. Cut your banana in half and stick a Popsicle stick in each half. Put the banana on a wax paper covered plate and place it in the freezer for 30mnts-1hour. Add a little cream (couple of table spoons) to your chocolate chips and put it in the microwave for one minute. Remove from the microwave and stir till smooth (may need to put in the microwave for another 30 seconds or so). Take the banana out of the freezer one at a time and dip them in the chocolate and sprinkle with your favorite toppings of nuts or sprinkles. This is a very easy treat your child will enjoy making and eating.
