Choco-Banana 'N Strawberry Treats

Choco-Banana 'N Strawberry Treats 4 bananas, peeled and cut in half small container of strawberries, hulled 2 cups semi-sweet OR dark chocolate chips 1 cup chopped almonds OR roasted peanuts Line a platter with waxed paper. Place bananas on the platter, insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each half and then freeze for 15 minutes. Place chocolate chips into a microwave-safe container and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring well after each minute. When chocolate is soft and shiny, beat it with a small spatula until it is smooth and has no more lumps. Roll each banana half in the melted chocolate and then quickly roll in the nuts to evenly coat them. Put the covered banana back onto the wax paper covered platter and freeze for another 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. I rolled the strawberries in the chocolate as well and let them sit in the freezer for roughly 20 minutes to set up the chocolate. One of the bananas fell off the stick, so I simply sliced it into rounds! Makes for a very pretty presentation and the banana "bites" are a great way to get your chocolate fix without going too overboard on calories!! Serve immediately or freeze in an airtight container for up to one week
