Marshmallow Monkey Business

• 1 package (10 ounces) large marshmallows
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 6 cups Rice Krispies
• 1/2 cup chopped dried banana chips
• 20 wooden pop sticks
• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
• 1/2 cup chopped dried banana chips

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
