These Banana Split Bites place a fun and simple twist on your favorite summer treat. Just place Strawberries, Pineapple and Banana on a stick. Then add on some chocolate dipping and nuts! Bam! You have a fun summer time treat.
We are always on the hunt for fun treats to serve up to the kiddos after a fun day in the pool during the summer months. It can quite often be extremely challenging to find a snack that is not filled with junk. This simple treat idea sneaks in some fruits so it has me totally pleased.
When the hubby whipped up these banana split bites while I was out doing some shopping last week, I was super excited to find my favorite summer treat on a stick. Everything tastes better on a stick, right? I seem to think so, lol. Since the fruit is chilled, this treat is both tasty and refreshing. Perfect for hot summer days. The kiddos were off at a friends house for most of the day so I was able to enjoy a couple of these treats before they raided them. I think the plate of bites was gone in about 5 minutes. These boys can really eat. WOW!
Making yourself these banana split bites is so super simple. Just grab your usual banana split ingredients, minus the ice cream. Place your chilled fruit on your Popsicle stick, dip in chocolate and then quickly sprinkle with nuts.
