Colin made Banana Minions almost entirely by himself. I helped him peel the bananas so they stayed intact and I helped him figure out where the banana half was. I also made the black frosting line and ‘overalls’ on the minions. Colin did the cutting, freezing, dipping, eyeball-ing and eating! He was really happy to tell James that he made the banana minions!!
You’ll Need:
- Bananas
- Yogurt
- Candy Eyes
- Black & Blue Frosting
- Candy Sticks
- Knife
Directions:
- Peel the bananas.
- Cut them in half.
- Push a candy stick in the banana on the cut edge.
- Freeze for 15 – 20 minutes.
- Holding onto the candy stick, dip into yogurt.
- Add a black frosting line about an inch from the top of the banana.
- Put one (or two) eyes in the center of that line.
- Optional: Using the blue frosting, add overalls to your banana minions.
- Freeze for about 10 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy!
My kids couldn’t get enough of their banana minions!! Colin asked for more but I had to tell him no so he had room for dinner.
