Easy Halloween Banana Ghost Snack (Frozen)
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium or large bananas
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 bar white baking chocolate
- 3 tablespoons dark chocolate or mini chocolate chips
- pack of popsicle sticks
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the vanilla yogurt in a bowl and stir until smooth.
- Grate the white chocolate bar into a separate bowl or tray.
- Peel, then use a knife to cut a banana in half to create two ghost bases. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of the banana half.
- Dip each banana into the yogurt, turning it to coat the entire banana.
- For a thin yogurt layer (as pictured), immediately roll in grated white chocolate. For a thicker yogurt layer, skip the chocolate layer for now.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or stand on a wire rack that allows for a smoother ghost shape.
- Repeat for the remaining bananas, taking care to peel the bananas and cut the bananas one banana at a time, to prevent browning.
- Place the prepared baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
- At this point, if you want a thicker yogurt layer, dip the bananas in the yogurt one more time, roll in grated white chocolate, and refreeze.

Decoration
- Melt the dark chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl in the microwave, stopping to stir it often so that it doesn’t scorch.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a small sandwich bag and cut the pointy tip off one corner.
- Using the bag like a piping bag, drizzle some chocolate onto each ghost. A couple dots and a circle make for easy eyes and mouth, or use a bit of melted chocolate to help stick mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
- Return to the freezer and freeze until solid or until chocolate hardens.
Serving
- Leave the healthy Halloween banana popsicles out at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
- Individual freezer treat bags can give them a professional look.
- Serve whole, with or without the popsicle sticks. Enjoy!
Easy Halloween Banana Ghost Snack (Shelf-Stable)

Ingredients
- 6-8 medium or large bananas
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 bar white baking chocolate
- 3 tablespoons dark chocolate or mini chocolate chips
- pack of popsicle sticks
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the powdered sugar into the yogurt one cup at a time with a hand blender.
- Grate the white chocolate bar into a separate bowl or tray.
- One at a time, peel and cut bananas in half to create two ghost bases. Carefully insert the popsicle sticks into the cut ends of the banana halves.
- Dip the bananas, one at a time into the frosting.
- Roll them in the grated white chocolate, then place them on the wire cooling rack.
- Place a cookie sheet under the wire rack to catch the excess frosting that will drip from the ghost pops.
Drying
- Once all yogurt-dipped bananas are coated, turn your oven off and place the wire rack and baking sheet in, leaving the oven door slightly open. The excess heat will help the frosting dry without cooking the bananas.
- Allow frosting to harden for 3-4 hours before removing from oven.

Decoration
- Melt the dark chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl in the microwave, stopping to stir it often so that it doesn’t scorch.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a small sandwich bag and cut the pointy tip off one corner.
- Using the bag like a piping bag, drizzle some chocolate onto each ghost. A couple dots and a circle make for easy eyes and mouth, or use a bit of melted chocolate to help stick mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
- Place in fridge until chocolate hardens.
Serving
- Store banana ghosts treats in an airtight container in your pantry or fridge for up to 3 days.
Tips and Variations
- Don’t forget to peel, cut, and dip each banana, one at a time, to prevent too much exposure to oxygen. The more quickly (and fully) the bare bananas are coated in yogurt, the less they will brown.
- Just ripe or even slightly underripe bananas are best for this delicious Halloween party food.
- Whether as frozen banana popsicles or a healthier Halloween candy alternative to cake pops, these Halloween recipes are fun and easy to lay directly on a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. If your bananas are frozen or dried standing up, then make sure your freezer or oven has the space for them to do so.
- Trade out the white chocolate for: coconut flakes, almond slivers, sugar pearls, white sprinkles, clear edible glitter flakes, or just skip it altogether for smoother ghosties.
- These aren’t just fun to make for adults, but fun for kids too! Get your kids in on this healthy treat, and your family will love that they’re learning to make healthy choices.
