2) Peel  bananas  ; cut each in half crosswise , insert wooden stick into center of cut end of each banana about 1- 1/2 inches  into the banana halves  , place on prepared baking sheet ; freeze until firm , at least 2 hours .
3) Place granola in large plastic food bag ; crush slightly using a rolling pin or meat mallet . Tranfer granola to shallow plate , place fudge sauce in a shallow dish .
4) working with  1 banana at a time  , place frozen banana  in fudge sauce  ; turn banana  and spread  fudge sauce evenly onto banana with a small rubber scraper . Immediately place banana on the plate with granola  ; turn to coat lightly . Return to baking sheet in freezer . repeat  with remaining bananas .

I make the treats ahead so I will always have some on hand ... my kids love sweets ,  the chocolate covered bananas are very tasty , the grown-ups likes them also .  It's a great and easy treat  for busy mothers and grandmothers.
Stay tuned ... My PIC  and I will bring you different recipes weekly , they will be healthy for your family.
