Just like kids, I love fun treats, and these really fit the bill. Plus, they are so easy to make and package! I wrapped these in cello bags with twist ties. As a variation, make the crispy treat with 3 tablespoons of peanut butter and reduce the butter to 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons.—Susan Scarborough, Fernandina Beach, Florida

Ingredients

1 package (10 ounces) large marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
6 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 cup chopped dried banana chips
20 wooden pop sticks
TOPPING:
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
1/2 cup chopped dried banana chips

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat marshmallows and butter until melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in cereal and banana chips; mix well. Cool for 3 minutes.
Transfer mixture to waxed paper; divide into 20 portions. With buttered hands, shape each portion around a wooden pop stick to resemble a small banana.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip ends of "bananas" in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle with peanuts and banana chips. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
