Ingredients
- Bananas (ripe but firm)
- Mini chocolate chips
- Optional: Greek yogurt, cream cheese, peanut butter, or almond butter (to help chips stick)
- Optional garnishes: pretzel sticks, cinnamon, strawberry slices
Instructions
- Peel the bananas gently to avoid bruising.
- Slice each banana into rounds about ½-inch thick.
- Arrange the banana slices on a plate in a single layer, leaving space between each.
- Place two mini chocolate chips for eyes and one for a mouth on each banana slice.
- Press the chips gently so they stick. If needed, dip the back of each chip in a tiny bit of peanut butter or yogurt to help them adhere.
- Repeat until all slices have ghost faces.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. For best appearance, serve right away.
Notes
To prevent browning, brush banana slices lightly with lemon or pineapple juice. For best results, assemble as close to serving time as possible. This recipe is very forgiving and can be adapted with various toppings.
