What a fun idea, the kids would love these, a really wonderful snack. I remember having frozen chocolate covered banana's as a kid.
My Grandma used to take me to Oceanside to feed the pigeons and eat frozen bananas (this was in the late 60's :-) and now I really really want one of these! Memory Lane only BETTER!!!!
I am about to make a batch with non-spicy chocolate sauce for some little friends who are visiting this weekend - have to go buy some fun toppings for them.
@boulangere- I just made a batch with toasted coconut - delicious! I am also going to try cocoa nibs.
Way too cool!
Thanks! I took a walk in the cold air and came back to your comment! I think homemade monkey sticks look better than store bought.
Oh my gosh, I can imagine all sorts of uses for them.: childrens' parties, and especially my Winter Solstice party. They would be fantastic make-your-own desserts to go with the Peppermint Truffles in a Mug. Thank you!
