Yummmmmy! Easy to make. Used dark chocolate, no additional toppings and they turned out so well. Used grilling skewers to freeze bananas. Our bananas were pretty big, and I bit awkward to eat, so next time I may try cutting them in half. Great summer treat that I will make again.

Have to give these a 5, can change it up to suit! We used to call these "Monkey Tails" and they were a summer favorite. Thanks for the memories, I'm making them tomorrow for my banana crazy grandson!

Works well, really easy and effective. I found that freezing them whole worked as well as slicing them in half, if not better.
