My son Charlie listens to music ALL the time.
He LOVES Pandora because he can find any song, any time.
His latest find is The Final Countdown by Europe.
Not sure how he happened across this blast from the past, but he has been singing it for weeks.
While I’m not a big fan of this particular song, it does seem to be our theme.
We are in the final countdown to summer break – wahoo!!
Summer means sleeping in, dining al fresco, and plenty of Popsicle ice pops.
Cherry may be the most popular flavor, but the fudge pop has always been my favorite.
When I stumbled across a healthy alternative on Chocolate Covered Katie, I couldn’t wait to try it.
These do not disappoint, and you all know how I feel about sneaking in the fruits and veggies:)
With only four ingredients, they are a breeze to make.
For the Fudge pops:
in a food processor, blender, or vita-mix - whichever you have - thoroughly blend 3 bananas until smooth
add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 tbsp of cocoa powder, and
1/2 cup of nutella (I used the trader joe’s chocolate almond spread instead)
blend well
pour into freezer molds or 4 Dixie cups with popsicle sticks
freeze
Enjoy!

Heather hi! Just stumbled upon your blog and I saw this great treat with Nutella which I love! It’s funny that just 3 days ago I posted another treat (Greek dessert) with Nutella as the basic ingredient! (if you wanna take a look this is the link: http://stardust-decorstyle.blogspot.com/2012/05/recipe-time-3-ingredients-greek-biscuit.html).
It was nice meeting you! I’m now following you!
Have a lovely day!
Hi Heather,
Another awesome recipe! I’ll have to add this to our ever growing summer to-do list.
Thanks for sharing,
Laura
those sound really good, and sort of healthy if you ask me:)
Thank you so much for sharing this on Saturday Show and Tell. I can just see my youngest with fudge all over his face and hands, while he smiles at me his little mischievous smile. I hope you’ll share more this week.

Nutella is truly amazing stuff!!! I need to make some of these this summer!!!
Is there a way to make them without bananas? I don’t know how it will affect texture or whatnot. I am allergic to bananas(sadly, it makes me sad that this tasty and versatile fruit gets me sick), and this dessert sounds amazing!
I just tried it with raspberries – I like them even better
These sound so yummy! Thank you for lining up last week! I hope to see you there tomorrow!
