Ghost Bananas

Today I'm sharing Dole's Ghost Bananas recipe with you. It's a simple, yet perfectly ghoulish snack for anyone. With just a few ingredients and some easy to follow steps, you'll end up with a spooky treat that the whole family will enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup vanilla lowfat yogurt 
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 
• 3 DOLE® Bananas 
• 6 lollipop sticks 
• 18 semi-sweet chocolate chips, regular and/or mini chips 
• Floral Foam or Styrofoam
  
  
  

1. Place yogurt in shallow plate and place coconut on a piece of wax paper.
2. Cut bananas in half, crosswise. Insert lollipop stick into the cut end of each banana.
3. Roll bananas in yogurt until coated. Roll in coconut, picking up edges of wax paper to help coat each banana with coconut. Press chocolate chips at pointed end of bananas to make the face. Press sticks into Styrofoam to display.

Making Mummies: Unwrap fruit leather and cut crosswise in half. Wrap one piece of fruit leather around one banana leaving the top open for the eyes. Press chocolate chips for eyes. Press mummies into Styrofoam to display.

Boo to You and Happy Halloween!

There you have it! A super easy, healthy and spooktacular Halloween snack for the season. Not only are these Ghost Bananas adorable, but they taste amazing, too! It's the perfect blend of sweetness and it's the perfect snack to make your family go "BOO!!!" in a good way. 😉
