To create the pineapple cup:
1. Cut off the top of the pineapple and set aside.
2. Run a knife around the inside of the pineapple, about 1/2″ from the edge.
3. Cut the inside diagonally twice (to create an X).
4. Use a spoon to scoop out the insides.
5. Cut away the hard inner core of the pineapple and discard. Use the rest of the pineapple for the recipe.

Frozen Banana Pops

Frozen banana pops are one of our favorite Summer treats. While an entire chocolate covered banana is delicious, these little pops are a lot less messy and they’re the perfect size for kiddos!

Frozen Banana Pops | Vicky Barone

Ingredients: ripe bananas, melting chocolate, sprinkles, and Popsicle sticks.

Directions:
1. Peel a banana and cut it into about four of five pieces.
2. Put each piece of banana onto a Popsicle stick.
3. Melt the chocolate and dip the banana pops into it. We only covered half of each banana piece with chocolate, but you can dunk the whole thing!
4. Dip into sprinkles.
5. Place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and place in freezer 1 hour or until completely frozen.

Instead of sprinkles, crush up your favorite candy. Reese’s Pieces and Butterfinger make great toppings as well!
