Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips

A great alternative to the salty potatoe chips, and healthy to boot! : ) These are a great snack and although they take a while to bake they are worth the wait!

Place a wire cooling rack on a sheet of foil and coat lightly with cooking spray

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to make sure sugar dissolves. Boil hard for five minutes until it is the consiostancy of a light syrup.

Core your apples and slice them into strips or rings. (thicker strips with bake chewy thinner strips will bake up crisp)

Place chips in a large bowl and pour sugar syrup over them while it is still hot and boiling.

Toss with tongs making sure apples are coated with syrup well.

Remove apples from syrup one slice at qa time and put on cooling rack, do not over lap them.

Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas

Although there are much more complicated ways to do this and also ways that use top of the line chocolate, my lil guy couldnt tell Godiva from Hersheys or Nestles. When he wants a frozen chocolate covered banana he wants it yesterday. So we do ours with Magic Shell and sprinkles. He gets the fun of rolling them in the chocolate and sprinkles, nuts etc all on his own and they only take a few minutes. Since we always have bananas in the house they have also proven to be a great way to keep my lil man and his friends occupied for a while when they decide they are bored with the video games, fort building and tad pole catching. so although I prefer my strawberries and such dipped in a much richer tastier chocolate, my son thinks these are the best!!

What You Need

Frozen bananas or mini bananas (on sticks) (i use popcycle sticks or 1/2 a wooden shishkabob stick) You may want to cut large bananas in half before inserting stick and freezing, they are easier for little handles to handle.

Magic shell chocolate, Peanut butter chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, orange creamcycle and/or vanilla cupcake flavored, depending on your preference

Sprinkles in asst. colors or crushed nut or angel flake coconut

Empty magic shell into bowls good for dipping, roll banana into magic shell and if necessary spoon additional over banana to cover. Immediately roll in desired topping and then return to freezer for a few minutes till magic shell sets.
