Boo-nana Ghosts

Ingredients: 


  • 4 x Co-op Fairtrade bananas 
  • 200g White Chocolate, broken into chunks 
  • 50g Milk Chocolate, broken into chunks or Co-op Milk Chocolate Chips 100g 
  • Baking paper 
  • Wooden kebab sticks

Instructions:


Prepare the bananas: 

Peel the bananas and slice each one in half. Stand them upright on a plate or tray with the flat (cut) side facing down. 


Melt the white chocolate: 

Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. (Alternatively, microwave in short bursts, stirring between each.) 


Coat the bananas: 

Spoon or pour the melted white chocolate over each banana half to cover it completely. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. 


Make the ghost faces: 

Melt the milk chocolate using the same method. Use a toothpick, piping bag, or the tip of a small spoon to add two eyes and a spooky mouth on each ghost. You can also use milk chocolate chips for the faces instead of the melted chocolate. 


Chill to set: 

Transfer the tray to the fridge for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm. 

 

Tips & Ideas: 

  • Serve chilled for a cool, creamy Halloween treat. 
  • Get the kids involved decorating their own ghosts - no two need to be the same! 
  • For an extra spooky touch, stick edible googly eyes onto the ghosts before the chocolate sets.
