I have to admit, this dessert is my new addiction.

A BIG one!

Combining the delicious bananas, flavorful chocolate, dried fruits and nuts, it offers a healthy and satisfying indulgence.

And the best thing about it? This dessert can be frozen so you can have a bite or two whenever you wish.

I just love it!

To make your own Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites, you need these ingredients.

So, so simple.

1. First, slice the bananas.

2. Then break up the chocolate…

… and melt it in your microwave oven.

3. Next, chop the dried fruits and nuts a bit.

4. To make the magic happen, dunk the banana slices in the chocolate.

Using two forks works great here.

5. Place the chocolate covered slices on a cooling rack. Since this is a little messy part, it would be absolutely great if you could place a piece of parchment paper under the rack.

Just like this.

6. Then sprinkle with the chopped fruits and nuts.

7. Finally, place the rack with the banana bites in the fridge to firm up a bit. After about 1/2 hour, using a sharp spatula, transfer the bites on a tray, cover with a plastic wrap and place in the freezer.

New Pattern – Simple Crocheted Cap

crochet-cap-pattern

A couple of months ago I posted a picture of some crocheted caps here on this little blog of mine.

The caps were crocheted by the loveliest person I know, by my Mom.

Almost immediately after I hit the ‘publish’ button, I received lots and lots of comments and emails asking me for the pattern. And I have been receiving messages like these up until today.

So, I have some good news for those of you who waited! And thank you for your patience, by the way!

I have finally started to work on the ‘cap’ thing and here’s MY FIRST CAP DESIGN.

My cap number one.

It is not exactly what my Mom made, I will have finished a pattern for that one in about two weeks, I hope.

So, the cap number two – the crocheted beret, is coming soon.

To introduce the cap number one, I’d have to say it’s really simple.

It almost looks knitted, doesn’t it? But it’s not. This is the good old crochet.

It’s really warm and super-cozy.

But beware! This cap thing might get pretty addictive. You definitely won’t stop after one. And that’s why your friends and family will love you even more. 🙂
