Boo-nana Yogurt Ghost Pops (Printable Version)

Frozen bananas dipped in yogurt with chocolate details make a playful, wholesome Halloween snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 ripe bananas, peeled and cut in half

→ Coating

02 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt alternative

→ Decorations

03 - 16 mini chocolate chips
04 - 8 regular chocolate chips
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, optional, for sweetening

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Gently push a popsicle stick into each banana half to form a handle.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if using. Stir well.
04 - Dip each banana half into the sweetened yogurt, ensuring a uniform coating.
05 - Arrange coated bananas on the prepared baking sheet. Press two mini chocolate chips into the top of each banana for eyes and one regular chocolate chip for the mouth to create a ghost face.
06 - Transfer baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for a minimum of 3 hours until yogurt sets firm.
07 - Remove pops from freezer and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Perfect truly healthy but festive treat
  • Handful of ingredients most have on hand
  • No baking required and minimal prep time
  • Customizable for allergies and dietary preferences
  • Look impressive at parties but require zero fancy skills
02 -
  • You make eight pops so plenty for sharing. Each one is bite-size yet keeps kids full till dinner.
  • High in potassium from bananas and good protein from yogurt.
  • Suitable for gluten-free and vegetarian diets.
03 -
  • Cut banana ends flat so pops stand upright if you want to display them
  • Use thick Greek yogurt so coating does not slide off after dipping
  • Decorate quickly while yogurt is damp so chips stick well
  • For extra crunch roll pops in finely shredded coconut before freezing (it looks like ghostly “fur” and adds great flavor)
