Yogurt-Dipped Boo-nanas
- 1 medium banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 8 mini chocolate chips for eyes
- 4 popsicle sticks
Cut the banana in half, and then slice open each of the halves to make four quarters. Insert the popsicle sticks into the bananas and freeze the bananas on a cookie sheet with wax paper for 30 minutes. When the bananas are partially frozen, fill a shallow cup with yogurt. Carefully dip each partially frozen banana into the yogurt to coat. Line the yogurt-coated bananas back on the parchment paper and add two mini chocolate chips for the eyes, then freeze until completely firm. Enjoy!
