Looking for a guilt-free treat? These chocolate covered frozen bananas are perfect for a  quick afternoon snack and taste exactly like a creamy ice cream sundae!

**NOTE: You can top the bananas with coconut, sprinkles, chocolate chips, peanut butter, etc…

Recipe:

Melt chocolate chips. While the chocolate cools, place the banana in refrigerator/freezer until slightly chilled and firm. Slice the banana and thickly cover each slice with the melted chocolate. Sprinkle the chocolate covered bananas with your choice of topping, and  place them in the  freezer for about 10-20 min. Enjoy!
