Halloween Boonanas Recipe (Frozen Banana Ghost Pops)
Make Halloween extra fun with these boonanas, the cutest frozen banana ghost pops. A simple, family-friendly treat that’s sweet, spooky, and a little healthier than your average candy haul.
Equipment
- 6 popsicle sticks
Ingredients
- 3 firm bananas peeled and halved
- 5 oz white chocolate or almond bark melted
- 12 candy eyes
Instructions
- Peel and cut each banana in half. Insert a popsicle stick into the flat end.
- Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Hold each banana by the stick and dip into the melted chocolate, covering about 80 to 90 percent. Use a narrow glass instead of a wide bowl for easier coating.
- Lay the dipped bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press on two candy eyes before the chocolate sets.
- Place the tray in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until set.
- Keep frozen until you’re ready to serve. They’re best slightly thawed for a creamy bite.
Notes
- Use firm, yellow bananas for best texture.
- Dip the popsicle stick in melted chocolate before inserting to help it stay secure.
- For a fun twist, add sprinkles, coconut, or crushed nuts before freezing.
- Keep boonanas frozen in an airtight container for up to one month.
