Preparation

• Place the chocolate morsels in a large, microwave-safe bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chocolate is melted, stirring every 2 minutes.Insert a Popsicle stick into one end of each banana and dunk the bananas in the melted chocolate, turning to coat all sides (if necessary, use a pastry brush to brush the chocolate onto the banana). Sprinkle the peanuts evenly over each banana.

  Place the bananas on wax paper set on a plate and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 10 minutes (or speed things up by placing the bananas in the freezer!)

Storage Savvy:

• Store the bananas in the freezer, where they’ll keep for up to 3 months. Wrap them in plastic wrap, then store in freezer bags. Or line them up in a plastic container. Eat the bananas frozen or set them out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to soften a bit.
