Banana Yogurt Frozen Treats on Pocky Sticks
"Bananas on Pocky sticks, coated with yogurt and sprinkled with chopped chocolate, these adorable banana yogurt frozen treats are super fun and easy to make. If you have little ones in your house, they are going to love helping you make them. It’s a great way to use up overripe bananas! The problem is that Pocky can’t hold a lot of weight and it breaks easily. Therefore, in order to continue executing my genius idea, I had to cut my banana in smaller pieces. Once you stick the Pocky sticks into the banana pieces, freeze for an hour. It will make dipping into the yogurt mixture easier. Keep in mind that your Pocky might break during the process. But who cares? The point is that it’s Pocky! Just eat it. This fun dessert making process gets more fun this way. Don’t you agree??"
NotesWhen dipping the frozen bananas in the yogurt mixture, the Pocky sticks might break. Holding the part of the stick that's close to the banana piece will help prevent the stick from breaking easily. In case the Pocky sticks do break, I suggest you enjoy them right away. That's part of the reason that we use Pocky sticks instead of frozen treat sticks here. ????
