It is hot in Louisiana. Like, the kind of hot where everyone posts pictures of the temperature from inside their car because it’s supposedly 98 degrees outside but it feels like 130 degrees.

We’ve been doing everything we can to cool off this month. We try to run errands early in the morning or when the sun is setting. Fans and air conditioning have been blowing non-stop. And anytime I head to the ice dispenser, I always have dogs that follow me to the kitchen, hoping to catch some ice.

(Don’t worry, they’re mine.)

 

Another awesome way we’ve cooled off? With these delicious and simple frozen dark chocolate banana pops!

 

If you’re anything like me, you have a freezer full of bananas that you had to freeze before they went bad. You know, for all the green smoothies you’re going to make every morning. You know, because you’re so healthy and what not. 

Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, don’t be anything like me. 

These pops are truly such a treat. Cool and refreshing, the bananas taste just like creamy ice cream when frozen and the dark chocolate is the perfect amount of sweet and bitter. You can roll them in your favorite toppings before the chocolate hardens – try chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even a crushed candy bar. Place in an airtight container or freezer safe bag and store for a couple of weeks…if they last they long!
