Frozen Chocolate Dipped Bananas

My husband loves the Frozen Bananas in Disneyland.
Here is our homemade version:

INGREDIENTS

6 Popcicle Sticks, or Skewers

3 ripe Bananas

2 cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

2 Tbsp shortening

1 1/2 cups Pecans, coarsely chopped

*

DIRECTIONS

Peel bananas, cut each in half, insert wooden stick into each banana half, and place on waxed paper covered tray cover; cover. Freeze until firm.

In microwave or in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling water), melt chocolate chips and shortening.

Remove bananas from freezer just before dipping.

Dip each piece into chocolate mix; cover completely and roll in pecans.

Cover and return to freezer.
