Day 1: Banana Ghosts

(from Family Fun magazine)

Scary right??

Here's what you do.

1) Cut bananas in half.

2) Push popsicle or lolipop sticks into bananas

3) Freeze until bananas are firm (about 3 hours)

4) Melt white chocolate candy

5) Dip bananas in melted candy or use a knife to spread

6) Add chocolate chips, small m & m's, or raisins for the eyes.

7) Let the white chocolate harden and ENJOY!!

The kids loved doing this and they actually tasted delicious. I never knew frozen bananas were so good. The only thing the kids and I talked about changing was the candy coating. It was kind of difficult getting the consistency right and keeping it that way as we all took turns dipping the bananas. John suggested next time we could cover it in yogurt which would be more healthy. We thought about using cool whip, or frosting. I would love them without any topping. But don't let that discourage you if you want to try the candy topping. I'm sure you are better at using it then me. Even though some of the ghosts looked a little raggedy, they still tasted great and the kids liked being involved with the process.
