Banana Ghosts with Chocolate Chip Eyes on a Stick

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes 12 banana ghosts

Ingredients

  • 6 ripe but firm bananas
  • 24 mini chocolate chips 2 per ghost
  • 12 wooden craft sticks or lollipop sticks
  • 1 sheet parchment paper

Instructions

  • Peel each banana and cut it in half crosswise so you have 12 chunky rounds, each roughly 5 cm tall.
  • Push one craft stick firmly into the flat cut end of each banana half so it holds without splitting the fruit.
  • Stand each banana ghost upright on a parchment-lined tray. The curved top will look like a ghost head naturally.
  • Press two mini chocolate chips, point-side in, into the upper third of each banana to form eyes.
  • Slide the tray into the freezer for at least 1 hour until the bananas are firm and the chips are locked in place.
  • Arrange on a serving platter straight from the freezer and serve within 30 minutes before they soften.
