These tasty 'Bluth Frozen Bananas' are inspired by the Arrested Development banana stand. These fantastic [sitcom-based sweets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comparts-x-the-white-lotus) are a combination of [chocolate, bananas and nuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-caramel-pecan). There's nothing better than watching Arrested Development with a Bluth Frozen Banana.

Creating these delicious Bluth-inspired banana treats requires Popsicle sticks, bananas (of course), milk chocolate chips, chopped-up walnuts and canola oil. Each banana makes two [frozen Bluth sweets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-dried-minis), so keep that in mind when you're making them for a crowd.

Ron Howard's incredible series Arrested Development is finally back for another season, so there's really no better way to celebrate than with a Bluth family-style frozen banana. Test out this decadent sitcom inspired recipe the next time you sit down to watch season 4 of the "semi-original" series Arrested Development.
