16ouncessemi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside. Place your desired toppings in bowls and set aside. Put 2 inches of water in the bottom of a double boiler. Bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate chips in top part of double boiler, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. When fully melted, remove from heat.
Take each half-banana and insert a Popsicle stick, leaving a sufficient enough stick to use for dipping and eating. Dip each banana into the chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip back in to the pan. Using a spoon, coat the chocolate with your desired toppings. Place on baking sheet. Continue until all bananas are done. Cool in refrigerator for 2 hours and serve.
Note: These are especially delicious as a frozen treat. After dipping, place baking sheeting in freezer for 3 -4 hours and serve. Delicious!
