Cool Popsicles for the summer made with fresh bananas, melted dark chocolate, peanut butter, and topped with fresh coconut flakes!
Have you noticed all the yummy popsicle recipes out there lately? They are all over the place, especially on pinterest!
With how hot the summers get down here in Texas … and when I say hot … I mean hot!! Like you feel like you are walking out into a sauna as soon as you step outside with 100+ temperatures and then add in that good old houston humid = yuck & get me in the AC fast!
The only thing that will cool us down in the summer are cold tasty treats, and popsicles will do just the trick.
If you’re like me and don’t have one of those fancy popsicle makers, then just got au’ naturale with the most basic popsicle you can find. Aka the banana!
People make ice cream with it all the time, why not turn it into a popsicle?
I decided to sweeten up this Banana Popsicle even more but adding some melted dark chocolate swirled with creamy peanut butter and then dunked into a pile of unsweetened coconut flakes.
Holy party in your mouth!
This popsicles are to die for and are so stinking easy to make.
Cason and I had a VERY messy blast putting these Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles together.
The best part is, there was a little bit of chocolate mixture left over. Unfortunately for me, my little man beat me too the punch and started to eat the chocolate without me!!! Little stinker! {although, smart kid, he knew he needed to act fast if he wanted some before mommy came back}
So, if you are looking for an easy dessert, something to you cool down, a chocolate fix for the evening, or just a way to use up those bananas then you NEED to try these Banana Popsicles. They are guaranteed to satisfy that sweet tooth! 🙂

Aaw Cason is adorable – haha what a smart lil man to go for the chocolate when mommy isn’t looking 🙂 These banana popsicles are so fun! My lil guy would go nuts over them – love how easy they are to make too!
haha.. I know right! I raised him right. 🙂
Love this easy refreshing recipe! That’s such a fun shot of your boy too! Looks like he’s a wonderful helper 😉
haha.. thanks Laura. Little man just cracked me up how he didn’t waste any time putting that spatula in his mouth. I don’t blame him though, they are delicious! 🙂
Can you imagine what it was like when there was no A/C? Like hell on earth. With no safe place to escape from the heat.
I’m so grateful we live in this era; with refrigerators, freezers, A/C, etc…
BTW I love these popsicles, simple, delicious and fresh. And your little man is a rockstar, he’s adorable!
haha!!! Agreed! I seriously don’t even want to think about it. We dealt with no a/c for 2 weeks after the wreck from hurricane ike and it was miserable! If I had these popsicles I would have been a much friendlier person. 🙂
So glad you liked the recipe Mike and my little man…. he’s pretty much awesome and will be the next iron chef america with all the cooking he does at the age of 2! 🙂
Gahh! I LOVE frozen banana popsicles! So so cold, icy and refreshing—-Multiply the delicious-ness by 1000 when you dip ’em in chocolate! These look amazing, Krista. Can’t wait to try these when I’m overloaded with ripe bananas! Oh, and your little guy is pretty much the cutest thing ever. That is all. 😉 Pinned.
haha.. thanks Sarah. I think he’s pretty cute too, but I’m bias. 🙂
Anything dipped in chocolate and peanut butter is a winner in my book, glad you enjoyed these girl. 🙂 Thanks for the pin!
