Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Pops Food

PEANUT BUTTER PUDDING POPS

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together until completely smooth. You want the liquid to taste a little too sweet, as it will become less sweet once frozen. Sweetener amount will depend on your tastebuds, ripeness of the bananas (if using), and your milk of choice. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. Chocolate Coating: Either melt chocolate chips to form a thin sauce OR stir together 1 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder, 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, and 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave to form a sauce. Take one frozen popsicle from the freezer, dip in the sauce, then place on a sheet of wax paper and re-freeze. Repeat for remaining popsicles.View Nutrition Facts

PET TREAT: PEANUT BUTTER BARK POPS

Steps:

• Reserve 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter for topping. Beat the remaining peanut butter in a large bowl with a mixer until smooth. Add 1/2 cup honey, the flaxseed and oats; mix until well incorporated.
• Scoop tablespoonfuls of the peanut butter-oat mixture using a small cookie scoop and roll into balls. Soak the balls in a bowl of water for a couple of minutes, then roll in crushed peanuts, shredded coconut or another topping of your choice.
• Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon each peanut butter and honey in a small bowl. Use it to glue your dog's favorite treat on top. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA POPS

Steps:

• Peel, then cut each banana in half crosswise and insert a craft stick into each half. Place on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until frozen, about 3 hours.
• 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.
