Chocolate-covered Fruit Pops

Adding a layer of chocolate and some toppings takes frozen fruit snacks to the next level.
Check out these easy instructions from Our Best Bites:

  1. Slice your fruit into 1/2″-3/4″ slices. If desired, use a cookie cutter to cut into uniform shapes.
  2. Insert a stick into the fruit and place on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Freeze until fruit is solid.
  4. When the fruit is completely frozen, dip it in the chocolate dip. Shake or twirl to remove excess.
  5. Quickly dip or roll in toppings and allow to harden.
  6. Eat immediately or freeze until ready to eat.

Banana Ice Cream

Craving ice cream? Your kids will have a blast making their very own ice cream, and you may be surprised at how easy it can be!
Chocolate Covered Katie shares an easy and delicious banana ice cream recipe:

  1. Start with bananas that are turning brown. Peel and cut into large pieces, then freeze in an airtight bag or container.
  2. To make the ice cream, throw around 2-3 frozen bananas into a blender or food processor—adding a pinch of salt and 2-4 tbsp milk of choice for smoother blending if desired—and blend until you achieve a soft-serve texture.
  3. You can serve immediately, or transfer to a container and freeze an additional 30 minutes, then scoop out with an ice cream scoop.
