Polar Bear Banana
Fur: Shredded coconut. Ears: Halve a mini marshmallow or yogurt-covered raisin lengthwise. Eyes: 2 mini chocolate chips. Nose: Halve a mini marshmallow for the snout. Use a piece of chocolate-covered rice cereal or half a candy-coated chocolate piece for the nose. Paws: Halve 2 mini marshmallows and make two short snips in each. Fish: A fish-shaped pretzel or a candy fish.
To assemble: Dip the frozen banana in white chocolate shell. Sprinkle with the coconut. Using more shell as glue, attach the elements as shown. Attach the pointed side of the mini-chip eyes to the banana for a bigger-eye effect. Glue the crisp rice cereal horizontally to the marshmallow snout before gluing the marshmallow to the banana. Glue the paws to the fish before attaching it to the banana. Freeze to set.
