How to make Banana-sicles

I saw These frozen treats on the Rachel Ray show. They are a healthy alternative to ice cream or popsicles.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Ingredients
• 4 bananas, peeled and cut in half widthwise
• 1 cup strawberry or other fruit preserves
• 3/4 cup granola, any kind your kids like
• 3/4 cup walnuts or pecans
• 8 popsicle sticks

1. Heat the preserves in a high-sided bowl in the microwave until it thins out. Pierce the banana through the center of the cut side with a popsicle stick. Dip the banana into the strawberry preserves until it's completely coated.
2. Place the granola and nuts on separate plates. After dipping the banana into the preserves, coat it in the nuts or granola, whichever you prefer.
3. Make the coating stick to the banana by pressing it in lightly with your hands. Place coated bananas on a small sheet tray lined with wax paper and pop them into the freezer until ready to eat.
