These look really yummy and easy to make. Thanks for sharing. Just 1 question, how long should the bananas be in the freezer before you dip them in the chocolate?
MOMables
It depends; just until the bananas are pretty solid. We usually wait about an hour!

I’m making this for my daughter v-day party. White chocolate with red food coloring to match V-day theme.
Michelle
Christine that sounds like an awesome idea!
Tanja
Great idea! How Long do they hold in the freezer?
Michelle
Tanja, I’d say they could hold up to 3 months in the freezer if you place them in a freezer safe bag or container after they are frozen! Ours never last that long though ;)
Amy
We made these yesterday in preparation for our family labor day cookout. I couldn’t get the kids to stop asking for more! We dipped some in shredded coconut and some in chopped almonds as well. Very yummy!! The kids lost interest in the dipping process after about five pops but that was just fine with me ;) Less chocolate getting flung all over my kitchen.

So glad you enjoyed them Amy! Great idea to put some shredded coconut and chopped almonds! My daughter looses interest after the first few too– but I agree with you– less to clean up! :)
Valeria
Will these hold up in a lunch box? Thank for all of your recipes :)
