Banana pops " Minions"
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 Banana (makes two pops);
- 1 Lollipop or popsicle stick per pop;
- 1 Package Wilton Yellow Candy Melts;
- 1 TBSP vegetable oil;
- 1 Package Wilton Black Shape and Amaze Edible Modeling Dough;
- 1 Package Wilton Blue Shape and Amaze Edible Modeling Dough;
- 1-2 Candy eyes per banana;
DIRECTIONS:
- Cut banana in half and stick lollipop sticks in the bottom of each half.
- Put bananas in freezer for at least one hour. They MUST be frozen before you dip them in the candy melts. Trust me, don't rush this step or else they won't turn out.
- Combine vegetable oil and candy melts in mug or double boiler.
- Wilton also makes a melting pot which works great.
- Follow directions on candy melts package to melt candy into a smooth liquid.
- If mixture is too thick add a little more oil.
- Don't add too much or it will become too thin.
- Pour candy mixture into a tall container. I used a champagne flute.
- Dip each banana into glass, making sure that the entire banana is covered.
- Place on wax paper and put back into the freezer.
- You will only need them to be in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- While candy shell is hardening on the bananas, form the minions facial features and overalls from the edible modeling dough.
- Roll the dough around in your hands until it becomes soft.
- If you can make basic shapes out of playdough then you can use this dough.
- If you mess up, just roll it back together and try again.
- Take bananas out of freezer and attach hair, goggles, eyes, mouth, and overalls.
- Don't press too hard.
- The dough should easily press onto the candy shell.
- The dough will harden within a few minutes.
- Serve immediately or wrap in wax paper and put back into the freezer.
- These pops will last for at least a few days if kept frozen.
