I love Fourth of July and everything that comes with it. The parades, the food, the desserts, the colors… the list goes on and on. Sometimes it’s nice to just have a treat that’s more on the healthy side. I love a good dessert every once and a while, but normally I just like to stick with fruit and veggies.
I created these fun, cute, and super yummy banana firecracker pops for those who want a treat, but aren’t willing to use the calories on it. These banana pops are simply frozen bananas with a taste of white chocolate and sprinkles. Sure it would be healthier to just have a plain banana, but sometimes you just need a little something sweet to satisfy your cravings.
I love how festive these little guys are. You can easily change them up for any holiday by using different color sprinkles and/or straw. but the idea and taste are still the same.
The recipe for these is also SUPER simple and easy (although it’s more of just assembling then actually baking). It’s even something toddlers and younger kids can help make!
