Polar Bear PopsIngredients:
4 firm, ripe bananas
8 wooden craft sticks
peanuts
2 cups white chocolate chips
1-1/2 Tbs. vegetable shortening
wafers
cherries
assorted small candies
Preparation:
Cut each banana in half. Insert a craft stick at the bottom and position two peanut halves at the top to look like ears and place on a wire rack. Melt chocolate and shortening on top of a double boiler. Pour mixture over the banana as it sits on the rack until it is well-covered.
To make a bear face: Place a wafer on the banana for the snout area, attaching it by adding a tiny amount of the chocolate mixture to the back of the wafer. Use a piece of cherry for the mouth, attaching with chocolate mixture.
Add a circle candy for the nose and two small candies for the eyes. Place on tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for an hour.
