My husband loves the Frozen Bananas in Disneyland.

Here is our homemade version:

1 1/2 cups Pecans, coarsely chopped

DIRECTIONS

Peel bananas, cut each in half, insert wooden stick into each banana half, and place on waxed paper covered tray cover; cover. Freeze until firm.

In microwave or in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling water), melt chocolate chips and shortening.

Remove bananas from freezer just before dipping.

Dip each piece into chocolate mix; cover completely and roll in pecans.
