Banana Eskimo Bars

Without peeling, cut each banana into 4 pieces (or 2–3 pieces if the banana is short).

Insert a popsicle stick into each piece (if you have sticks).

Or use the handle end of a coffee or teaspoon instead.

Then peel the bananas and trim the ends so all pieces are the same size. Arrange the bananas on a plate and place in the freezer for 3–4 hours until completely frozen.

Chop the nuts coarsely in a food processor or roughly chop with a knife.

Break the chocolate into pieces and melt over a double boiler.

Melt until smooth. Using a silicone pastry brush, coat the banana with chocolate. If you don't have a brush, you can drizzle it on with a teaspoon.

Immediately roll it in the nuts. Since the banana is cold, the chocolate sets very quickly, so you need to work fast to make sure the nuts stick.

Look at how beautiful these turn out! Return to the freezer for 30–60 minutes.

Remove the finished banana eskimo bars from the freezer 3–5 minutes before serving.
