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! 🙂
