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.
