Last weekend I went out on a limb and whipped up some chocolate covered bananas. Wacky! The ones I made didn't turn out as good as the ones they sell at A La Mode, but they were still pretty good. I put almond flakes on some of them (not pictured). That was a good call.Here's the recipe:
1 1/2 c. nuts
3 tbsp. butter
4 firm bananas
1/2 c. semisweet chocolate morsels
8 wooden skewers
Measure nuts into shallow pan and set aside (I used a double boiler; it worked pretty well). Melt butter and chocolate morsels together in small saucepan on low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into second shallow pan and set aside. Peel bananas and cut in half cross-side. Immediately dip bananas in melted chocolate to coat evenly. Roll in nuts, pressing nuts into chocolate to coat evenly. Place on wax paper lined tray. Freeze firm for 2 hours. Rice Krispies may be substituted instead of nuts.

Strawberries or pretzels just don't have the same allure as chocolate bananas. At the same time, I certainly wouldn't turn away chocolate-covered pretzels if you whipped some up and sent them here in the mail.
Speaking of inappropriate content, did you notice that the ingredients specifically called for "firm bananas"?
