Have you ever eaten a frozen banana dipped in chocolate?

desertdarlene_ I can't drive all the way to Michigan. Where are you living now? Maybe I can get over there before it's dark. I'll take the cut up bananas. It's probably neater. I eat vanilla ice cream with brownies sometimes. I like french vanilla, what's your favourite flavour?

I live in San Diego and I saw them at only one store, Windmill Farms. They may also be available at any Henry's, Trader Joes, or Whole Foods as Windmill Farms is a lot like those stores. They weren't that expensive, either.

desertdarlene_ Okay, I live on the Eastern side of the country. I don't think I can get there by dark. If I ever get out to San Diego, I know where I'm going first!

beautyqueen_ so glad to be of service. They use a darker chocolate. I don't think it melts as fast as milk chocolate. (less sugar, duh) You and roll them in nuts as well. anawar out.

You can roll them in nuts. I'm nuts. anawar out again.

Maybe someday you'll get to try it.

They are just very sensitive, always have been. Even the sensitive teeth toothpastes don't help a whole lot. It's just something I've learned to deal with but it gets worse as I get older.

dragon_ I get your point about ruining good chocolate by adding it to something healthy! Some people suggested cutting up the banana. I guess that would still be too cold for you. Why do your teeth hurt?

cinderella_ Biting into a frozen banana is quite an experience. It takes some skill. (not really) When it's hot out, the whole concoction starts to melt and it's easier to bite into the banana. If you try it, be warned. It can be messy.

Let me know if you do try to make one and how it comes out. I want to try making them as well.

Thanks for the tips. I think I have seen that melting chocolate in containers. The problem is, I don't have a microwave. I wonder if I can heat it up on the stove? As you suggested, never take my eyes off the pot. What do you think? Will it work? I like frozen grapes as well, but I'm not crazy for them. I only eat them every once in awhile.

oohh_ grapes and chocolate, nooo. Yuck.

I think you would be very amazed at the combination of red grapes and white chocolate. I found it amazing. Beamer23

kameleen_ I'm glad that nice childhood memory kicked in. Our memories take us right back to the moment, as if it still existed. I think I have to get one of those bananas soon, if I ever stop spending time on myot instead! I'm worried I'll forget how to spell bananas.

madebyrobyn_ Oh no, you lost me on that last sentence. If you make bananas like that, let me know. Somehow, I can't imagine the taste combination of all those ingredients. You're very creative!

mmm... i must think of chocolate fondue now... mmm i've almost eaten any kind of fruit with chocolate by now, and i think there isn't any fruit that doesn't go with it ;) . And frozen banana with chocolate was my favorite "icecream" when i was a child :9 . Sweet memory's, i definitly have to make some again :D . And you gave some nice variation ideas for it, madebyrobyn :).

luvstochat_ Thank you. I'm not alone anymore. Do you remember what kind of chocolate your dad used? Or was it too long ago? Was it Hershey's syrup or the more fudgy kind?

Iwas with a rock musical and we toured toledo ohio idaho kansas pennsylvania wisconsin-a few other states but can't remember them all now it was about 20 yrs ago!! The show was called Lonesome Stone don't konw if you have heard of it..was in the states for a year-your friend littleowl

That's okay littleowl. You can still be my friend. Where in the states did you visit?

You've got a good memory from something you did 20 years ago! No, I'm sorry to say, I've never heard of the group. It sounds like you had fun!

Don't you love living in a world full of chocolate? I don't think I've seen chocolate covered caramel apples before. It sounds like a bit too much. Have you ever hurt you teeth biting into one of these apples?

whiteheron_ you're killing me. Your suggestions are driving me right into the kitchen to try making one. I don't have any of the ingredients though_

Add a few peanuts, pecans or almonds which I forgot to mention... and make the chocolate dark and wonderful and you have something fantastic. I must admit that I used a knife and cut it into small pieces. It was something that took awhile to eat. I kept it in the refrigerator wraped with plastic wrap in between the snacks. I got it from the the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory... It was mmm good.

If you find the kit, let me know, okay? I always thought the banana got frozen first, and then dipped in the chocolate? Now I'm confused, a normal state of mind for me_

I think I'll need to print out all the directions to keep it straight in my mind. Thanks for followiing up!

That's not how we did it. I specifically remember making them that way with my mom. I suppose you could freeze them first, but it wouldn't really make a difference. You'd just be sticking them in the freezer twice because you have to put them in the freezer for the chocolate to harden. You'd have to put the sticks in the bananas first before sticking them in the freezer, of course, if you wanted to freeze the bananas first. The way we did it, it was just like making a popsicle, except it was a chocolate-coated popsicle.

beamer_ what? I'm confused. Run that by me one more time? A web page about fruit dipping__ where? ? (Don't forget the banana is frozen first.)

You do know a lot about dipping fruit in chocolate that no one else does! Someone told me to put the bananas on wax paper after dipping them. You probably know that. Let me know how that webpage works out!

Ok, what you have done is to give me is an idea for a new webpage that I am going to make to explain what it is that I have learned about dipping various kinds of fruit into chocolate at home. I am not familiar with the procedure on dipping frozen bananas so I shall leave that alone. Like did you know, all fruit needs to be patted dry before the actual dipping takes place. That and once you have dipped the chocolate. a lot of the excess can be shaken back off the fruit and saved for the next batch. Also, you don't want to use old chocolate. It doesn't melt very good. Stuff like that. Beamer23

jensgeukens_ How am I supposed to get to Belguim? You guys have all the best chocolate. I'm so pleased to know my beloved frozen banana has it's own name. Wouldn't that be funny if I went to an ice cream place here and asked for an "Oufty"? How do you pronounce that word? I'm not too sure about the cherries though. What about the pits?

beamer_ strawberries, white chocolate and coconut? That's a new one for me! Very creative indeed.

I haven't ever tried frozen bananas, just regular kind in Chocolate. They are pretty awesome. I love Pineapple in chocolate, or strawberries in White chocolate, especially with the coconut on the outside. I ain't too crazy about cherries. Beamer23

trust me a popsicle stick is not to thick and you not cutting the banana in half length wise. so it works quite nicely. I have included a pic of how the homemade ones made for you?

OKay, I'm having trouble with a visual here. Someone told me to cut the banana in half, put in a stick, then freeze the banana around the stick. I wasn't sure what kind of stick to use, in fact I just asked someone. I thought a popsicle stick would be too thick?

Dark chocolate?? i dun think it will taste as good.. LOL =D Strawberries with whipped cream?? That's new to me.. LOL

kun_ Ah, glad you're on my side. I might try making some with dark chocolate, if I get brave. Someone mentioned strawberries with whipped cream. Now, that sounds good to me!

kittenmc_ That doesn't sound too difficult. I wouldn't have thought about the wax paper part. Thanks for the tips.

You are very welcome! Let me know how they turn out if you decide to make your own, and feel free to ask any questions. To me making them homemade is better for 2 reasons; 1 they taste better, 2 it's cheaper! LOL!

They are good, aren't they? All I can think of when you say truffles are the special mushrooms from another country. I think they have a special pig who hunts the truffles for them? Will someone correct me if I'm mixed up? Now, I remember truffles, the candy, because my mom liked them. Is that what you mean?

yep =) its chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate. easier to melt hehe

No pressure. If you don't like bananas, you really won't like them dipped in chocolate!

Haha yeah

moveadlung_ It's a tasty sensation. How can I describe it to you? The banana is cold, so you take small bites at first. The chocolate around it crumbles a bit, so you have to catch every morsel. It's not the banana or the chocolate that drives me crazy. I like it because it's different. That's the best I can do, it's been so long_ Can anyone here help with their own description?

moveadlung_ I'll start a new conversation for you and see if anyone can explain what it feels like to eat a chocolate covered banana.
