Kid's party treats - a sweet and affordable idea!

Banana-Choc Icebergs

The original recipe from littlies.co.nz can be found over here, but my method is cheaper and just as tasty!

Chop a banana into 1 - 2 inch long rounds. Into the base of each, push an iceblock stick** (don't poke all the way thru!). Lay on a foil-covered tray (You can also use an empty icecream container), not touching, and freeze for 15 mins.

Make butter-free chocolate frosting (I'll bring you the recipe in a few days - basically, it's icing sugar, cocoa and a little hot water.) You *can* use butter icing if you prefer here, but it's not necessary, and the creaminess in the taste is lost in the freezing, so it's a good opportunity to save a few pennies!

Dip each semifrozen banana in the icing, and top with hundreds and thousands. Pop a chocolate button or similar on at least one side of the icing - this is to "rest" on on the tray so the icing doesn't get smooshed!

Place back on the tray, button-side down, and pop back in the freezer, still not touching.

They'll store for a week nicely in the freezer, and once they are frozen, you can lift them off the tray and pop them in a container in the freezer - as long as they're frozen, they wont stick to each other.

**TOP TIP: When we were little, my mum used to use skewers for this. It meant she didn't have to go out and buy single-use iceblock sticks specially!
