Frozen Banana Pops On a Stick

 

3 bananas
6 wooden ice-cream sticks
1 cup orange juice
1 cup milk-chocolate pieces
2 T. vegetable oil
¾ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
¾ cup shredded coconut (optional)


Cover baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. slice peeled bananas in half crosswise and insert stick. Dip into orange juice. Place in freezer until firm. Melt chocolate pieces and vegetable oil in top of double boiler. Spoon melted chocolate evenly over bananas. Chocolate will harden fast, so work rapidly. Roll coated bananas in chopped peanuts or shredded coconut. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. Makes 6.
