Banana On A Stick Food

FRIED ELVIS BANANA ON A STICK

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 370 degrees F in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered but the bacon is still pliable (don't get it too crisp), 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool.
• Spread one side of each bacon slice with peanut butter. Wrap each slice around a banana piece, peanut butter-side facing the banana, pressing to adhere.
• Spread some cake flour in a shallow bowl for dredging. Whisk the cake flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the seltzer, taking care not to overmix (a few small lumps are fine).
• Dredge half of the bananas in the flour, then dip in the batter and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry in 2 batches until crisp and golden brown, flipping halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining bananas. Insert skewers into the bananas. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.

• Place the peanuts in a shallow dish or on a plate. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the top pan. Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass. Dip each frozen banana into the chocolate, turning it to coat, and immediately roll in the peanuts. Place on a tray covered in waxed paper. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED BANANAS ON STICK

Steps:

• Peel the bananas and cut each in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each and place the bananas on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Freeze until very firm, about 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, place the sprinkles, peanuts and crushed cookies onto three small plates, then set the toppings aside.
• When bananas are ready, place the dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil in a medium bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave 30 seconds more. Stir and microwave again until the chocolate is smooth and melted, then set aside. Repeat with the milk chocolate.
• Place the white chocolate in a heatproof glass or metal bowl that will fit over a small pot. Fill the pot with a few inches of water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat over medium-low heat, gently stirring the chocolate as it melts. Once it's melted, use a kitchen towel to carefully remove the bowl from the pot and set aside.
• Dip the bananas into the melted dark chocolate and use a spatula to remove any excess. Immediately dip the banana into the topping of your choice, then place it back on the parchment-lined sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining bananas.
• Drizzle the bananas with milk and white chocolate. Alternately, you can dip the bananas into the milk or white chocolate. Store the bananas in the freezer until you're ready to serve them.

BANANA FRITTERS ON A STICK

Steps:

• Skewer the bananas with popsicle sticks. Whisk the egg and then whisk in the milk. Dip each banana in the egg then toss in the bread crumbs to coat. Repeat the process to create a second coating. Heat oil to 365 degrees and drop in the bananas, moving them around to brown evenly on all sides. Place on paper towels to drain.
• Dipping Sauce: Scald milk in a medium saucepan and transfer to a bowl containing chopped chocolate, gently stirring until chocolate is completely melted. Add vanilla and whisk in peanut butter until smooth.
• Dust the banana fritters with confectioners' sugar. Drizzle chocolate peanut butter sauce over bananas or use as a dipping sauce.

FROZEN BANANAS

Steps:

• Insert 1 ice pop stick into the cut end of each banana half. Place the bananas on a wax paper-covered baking sheet, and freeze until the bananas are frozen through, about 2 hours.
• Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer and spread a layer of peanut butter on each banana. Place the peanut butter-covered bananas back in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
• Dip each frozen banana in the melted chocolate, spooning the chocolate over the banana to cover it completely. Roll the dipped bananas in the chopped peanuts and place on the wax paper covered baking sheet; freeze until the chocolate is firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
