Hi friends,with school starting I'm always looking for fun easy after-school treats. I am sharing an oh so addictive treat with you today! 

I promise you, these Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Banana Pops will take you approximately 15 minutes to make and even less to gobble up! All you need are three simple ingredients, in fact, I'm almost positive you probably have most of them on hand in your kitchen right now. 

Don't let the length of the recipe scare you off from making this delicious treat, it's so worth the time! 

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Banana Pops
Makes about 12 pops

Ingredients: 

3 large ripe bananas
12 regular sized marshmallows {I used Jet Puffed}
10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips {I used Nestle}
2 tablespoons coconut oil
**Optional ~ your choice of topping, sprinkles, sea salt, edible glitter or granola. These are the toppings I used, but you could definitely do others. 
Popsicle sticks



Instructions:

1} Peel bananas and cut each one into fourths.
2} Cut each marshmallow in half **TIP: wet your knife to cut the marshmallow easily
3} Place one half of a marshmallow on the bottom of the banana and the other half on the top of the banana {See Photo below}
4} Insert popsicle stick into both the marshmallows and banana **TIP: wet the popsicle stick before inserting, it will slide easier and not rip your marshmallow 
5} Place the marshmallow banana pops on parchment paper and place in freezer for 5 minutes or until they harden
6} While pops are in freezer, mix the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave safe bowl
7} Melt the mixture in microwave for approximately 40 - 55 seconds, making sure the chips don't burn
8} Pull out the pops and dip in melted chocolate. **Chocolate will harden almost immediately
9} Sprinkle your choice of topping
10} Place back into freezer for approximately 3 minutes to fully harden
11} Enjoy!
