Flippin’ for FLIPanas!

Flippin’ for FLIPanas!

Making these FLIPanas is as easy as … bananas!

It’s a whole lot of fun, too, and the perfect activity for a winter day.

Go bananas for FLIPanas!

Here’s what you will need:

• Ripe bananas
• Semi-sweet melting morsels (chocolate chips — we used Nestlé®)
• Candy eyeballs
• Orange chocolate candy pieces (we used Reeses’® Pieces)

Instructions:

For best results, make sure the bananas are just starting to ripen (look for brown spots on their peels).

Then, cut them in half (keeping the peel on), place them in a plastic bag, seal, and store in the freezer for at least one hour.

Next, melt about one cup of chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stovetop (a grown-up can help you). Peel the bananas and gently dunk the top halves in the melted chocolate, rolling side to side. Place gently on a plate.

Place eyes and a beak (side down) on the soft chocolate, then drizzle a bit of chocolate on the other end of the banana, where you will place two more orange candy pieces (side down) to create feet.

If desired, use a fruit snack to create a scarf, just like Flip’s.

Before you gobble them up, be sure to send a photo of yourself with your FLIPanas to editor@skateisi. org. Your photo may appear here, in Recreational Ice Skating Online (RISonline.org).
