FUDGY CHOCOLATE-BANANA POPS

Steps:

• In small bowl, gradually add 1 cup of the soymilk to vanilla pudding mix; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in bananas. In another small bowl, gradually add remaining soymilk to chocolate pudding mix; beat with wire whisk until well blended.
• Spoon half of the banana mixture into cups. Layer chocolate mixture over banana mixture. Spoon remaining banana mixture into cups; stir slightly to marble. Insert sticks; freeze about 3 hours or overnight until firm. To serve, remove cups.

CHOCOLATE BANANA POPS

Steps:

• Insert a toothpick into each banana piece. Arrange bananas, toothpick side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, 2 hours.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in 10-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Working quickly, dip each banana piece in chocolate, shake off excess, and cover with sprinkles. Chocolate should set quickly, but if necessary, freeze pops to harden coating before serving.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE-BANANA POPS

Steps:

• Break the bananas into chunks, and puree in a food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder, cream and maple syrup, and puree until combined. Spoon the banana mixture into ice-pop molds, and freeze until firm, 8 hours or overnight.
• Spread the peanuts on a plate. Run hot water over the ice pops to help loosen them, then unmold, roll them in the peanuts and serve (or keep them frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet until ready to serve).

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.
