👻 Whip up this spooky and fun 15 Minute Halloween Banana Ghost Snack that’s perfect for a quick festive treat.
🍌 Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s a healthy and delightful snack that kids and adults will love.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 3 bananas cut in half

– 3/4 cup of melting white chocolate for coating

– 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for melting chocolate

– Candy eyes for decorating

– 6 popsicle sticks for holding banana ghosts

Instructions

1-Getting started with Banana Ghosts: Getting started with Banana Ghosts is as easy as it gets, and you’ll have a batch ready in about 15 minutes total. First, cut the 3 bananas in half and place them on a surface lined with parchment paper to keep things neat. Insert the 6 popsicle sticks about three-quarters of the way into the cut ends of the bananas for easy handling.

2-Optionally, pop the bananas in the freezer: Optionally, pop the bananas in the freezer for 20 minutes or overnight to help them firm up and make dipping easier. Next, melt the 3/4 cup of white chocolate and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-30 second intervals and stirring until it’s smooth and glossy. For the fun part, spoon the chocolate mixture over the bananas until they’re fully coated, then add candy eyes or mini chocolate chips to give them that ghostly look.

3-Finally, freeze the coated bananas: Finally, freeze the coated bananas for 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens, and you’re done. This method works best with bananas that are just ripe or slightly underripe to prevent mushiness, and freezing them first helps the coating set faster. If you’re short on time, this quick process fits right into a busy schedule, yielding 6 servings that are perfect for sharing.

Notes

🍌 Use bananas that are just ripe or slightly underripe to avoid mushiness.
❄ Freeze bananas before dipping to help the coating set faster.
🍓 Substitute white chocolate with Greek yogurt for added protein or use frozen strawberries or apple slices as alternatives.
