Choco Bananas -Namwah Bananas

One of our favorite varieties of bananas are Namwah bananas. These plants produce very quickly. The bunches contain a great number of small bananas. You can cut off a hand at a time and allow it to ripen inside to avoid having too many ripe all at once.

However, should you have too many ripen at the same time, chocolate covered, frozen bananas are a great treat to make with the excess.

Choco Bananas

Simply peel the bananas and insert a popsicle stick or chopstick into one end - pushing it almost all the way through. In a double boiler, heat chocolate chips or melting chocolate wafers, stirring often. Dip the bananas into the chocolate and use a spoon if necessary to completely cover the banana with chocolate. You can cover with chopped peanuts or sprinkles. Place covered bananas on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Once the cookie sheet is full, place in the freezer. After 8 hours, you can place the frozen bananas into a bag.
