I think Alissa posted this recipe somewhere; it's kind of the first prepared raw meal i've ever made (something other than a salad :-p)
These things are even more delicious than an amazing ice cream sandwich, and they taste just like it (but better!)
You will need:
bananas (i used them while they're still yellow, i don't like too ripe)
carob
water
nuts (optional but recommended)
nut butter of your choice (i used peanut butter, almond/cashwer butter would be good too!)
popsicle sticks/plastic spoons/utensils
mix up your water and carob mixture until thick/creamy consistency (i used maybe a little less than 1 cup of water and 3 or 4 tablespoons of carob when i made them last night, but i had a lot of extra. you can freeze extra mixture and unthaw for later use)
pour the mixture into a tall cup that you will use to dip the bananas into
chop nuts in food processor (i used pine nuts, also you can use almonds, cashews, walnuts etc. whatever you like!) and add to carob mixture
cut your bananas in half through the middle (width wise, not length wise) and stick a popsicle stick or the handle of a plastic utensil (preferably spoon) up through the banana, and coat banana with your nut butter. then dip into the carob mixture and lay on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. do this for all over your bananas and then go back and double-dip them to ensure maximum deliciousness
set in freezer until frozen
note: about an hour in, the peanut butter will be very creamy and the banana and carob mixture just frozen enough to make it taste really, really good :-p
