Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops with chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, Justin's honey peanut butter jar and two bananas

Contrary to what you may be thinking the “PB” in this Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops recipe stands for “perfectly blended (flavors)”. Ok not really, but that doesn’t make it untrue. This recipe is tasty and a great way to stay cool on hot days. I make them with JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter, fresh bananas, and decorate them with sprinkles. It’s a great project that you can make and eat with the kids!
