Description
These banana snowmen are a fun holiday treat to make with the kids. They consist of fresh banana slices dipped in white chocolate and simple toppings for the hat, eyes, nose and buttons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6-8 skewers* or popsicle sticks
- 2 bananas (any ripeness, so long as they're not mushy)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- fresh raspberries
- miniature dark chocolate chips
- dried mango
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut the mango into small triangles for the noses.
- Peel the bananas and slice them 1/2 inch thick, or as thick as needed to easily push through the skewers.
- Place three banana slices on each skewer to make your snowmen.
- Melt the white chocolate. You can either melt it in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, or over the stovetop on low heat.
- Dip the snowmen in the white chocolate, covering them entirely. I found this easiest to do by pouring the white chocolate into a tall, slender cup and then dipping the snowmen one at a time. Another option is to spoon the white chocolate onto the snowmen, coating each side.
- Place the dipped snowmen on the lined baking sheet, then add the toppings. Place a raspberry on top of each snowman head, use 2 chocolate chips for the eyes and 2-3 for the buttons.
- Grab a dried mango triangle and place it on the snowman's face for the carrot nose.
- Pop the snowmen in the freezer to fully set the white chocolate. They should be ready in about 10 minutes.
- Enjoy them immediately, or make ahead of time and store in the freezer until you're ready to serve them.
Notes
Store any leftovers in the freezer.
*I used 12" skewers. You can cut them down smaller if you wish or use a shorter size.
