Homemade Frozen Banana Pops: 5 Simple Recipes for Summer

A fun snack to make over the summer with kids. Chocolate covered frozen banana pops!

If you’re looking for a simple, fun summer treat to make with children, try these Frozen Banana Pops. They are quick to prepare, kid-friendly, and perfect for warm days.

Start by chopping a banana into slices. There’s no precise size required — slices about the width of the top of your finger work well and are easy for little hands to hold.

Insert a small food skewer into each banana slice. Short wooden or plastic skewers work well — I used Pick Sticks because they’re the ideal size for these pops.

Melt about 80g of chocolate — milk, dark, or white chocolate all work. A small glass or bowl is handy for melting because it gives you enough depth to dip the banana slices.

Dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate so it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated slices onto a plate or small tray.

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each pop with your chosen decorations — colorful sprinkles are fun for kids. Once decorated, place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm the chocolate and freeze the banana.

After 30 minutes in the freezer the pops are ready to enjoy. They’re best eaten right after removing from the freezer, as the banana will begin to soften and lose texture as it thaws.

You can prepare these the night before and store them in the freezer overnight, but I don’t recommend keeping them frozen for more than a day if you want the best texture and flavor.
