Recipe - Fun On A Stick Frozen Bananas

4 md Sized ripe firm bananas
8 Wooden skewers or craft
sticks
12 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoon Vegetable shortening
1 cup Coarsely chopped unsalted
roasted peanuts

Line a rimmed cookie sheet with waxed paper. Peel the bananas and cut in
half crosswise. Insert a skewer into the flat end of each banana half and
place on the cookie sheet; freeze for 3 to 4 hours, or until solid. Melt
the chocolate with the shortening in the microwave or on the stovetop over
very low heat. Dip the frozen bananas one at a time into the melted
chocolate mixture, using a spoon if necessary to ladle the chocolate over
the bananas, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the pan.
Immediately roll the coated bananas in the chopped peanuts. Return the
bananas to the cookie sheet, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours before
serving. After that, store in resealable plastic storage bags and keep
frozen until ready to use.

NOTE: Wrapped well, these bananas should last for up to 2 months in the
freezer.
