Fall might be here, but that does not mean that frozen treats have to go by the wayside. And they can be healthy too! These frozen bananas covered in chocolate and crushed cereal are a perfect after school snack or even morning breakfast treat.
I have seen a version of these pre-made in a store, but making them yourself would be so much more affordable. And it is so easy. It only takes a few minutes. I have also seen various versions of this on blogs and in cookbooks, but I took my cue from an article in a Family Fun magazine.
Go ahead, melt some chocolate, dip those bananas and enjoy. (I know you adults will like them too)!
