  7. DIP BANANA INTO CHOCOLATE: Remove baking sheet from freezer, and working quickly, hold each banana sandwich and dip half of it in the bowl of melted chocolate.
  8. SPRINKLE WITH TOPPINGS: Place back on baking sheet and sprinkle with various toppings.

  9. FREEZE again for 2 hours or until frozen solid again and enjoy. Store in freezer in an airtight container.
