Why You’ll Love Banana Ghosts
- Kids love them! It’s amazing how one small addition to this classic fruit can completely transform it. I even used these as a snack for my son’s Halloween Party!
- They are SO easy. I am all about an easy Halloween Snack idea.
- They are perfect for a group. Banana Ghosts would be so cute on charcuterie board or served with a meal for a group of people. Include some Mummy Hot Dogs too!
- They are a healthy snack. Bananas are a rich source of essential nutrients like potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamins B6 and C, promoting heart health, digestion, and overall well-being.
How to Make Banana Ghosts
Simply cut a banana in half and make a face with the chocolate chips!
You can vary how you use the chocolate chips. Some place them pointy side down so the eyes and mouth are flat vs how they are in the picture below.
I’ve also used a full size chocolate chip as the mouth instead of a mini chocolate chip.
Now do a fun Halloween Craft like our Paper Plate Pumpkins, Lollipop Spiders, or Q-Tip Skeletons for a festive Halloween day!
