Frozen Banana Pops Covered in Chocolate Taste Like Dilly Bars

September 2, 2015 by Amanda R DeWitt

These delicious frozen chocolate covered banana pops covered in chocolate are the perfect semi-healthy treat for a hot summer day. Or any day, really. The frozen bananas taste so similar to ice cream (especially when you use super ripe bananas), but you get the benefit of potassium, no added sugar and no dairy. The chocolate candy shell is just icing on top.
