Who are we to say “no trick-or-treating”? In fact, we highly support anything festive! It’s the mountain of leftover candy beckoning us from the cupboard that we aren’t overly fond of.

As a means of getting rid of unwanted candy last year, we found ourselves making Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas. You may be eating chocolate, but you are also getting a dose of potassium & a burst of seratonin! These popsicles may not be a “health food”, but at least they have some healthful properties!
