Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm bananas
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
- Optional toppings: melted white chocolate, Greek yogurt, slivered almonds
Instructions
- Peel the bananas carefully, starting from the bottom (non-stem end) to avoid stringy bits.
- Slice the bananas into rounds about 1/2-inch thick, aiming for 6-8 slices per banana.
- Arrange the banana rounds on a plate or tray, leaving space between each.
- Press mini chocolate chips into the banana slices to create ghost faces: two chips for eyes, and optionally a third for a mouth. Use a toothpick to draw smiles or other expressions.
- Optional: Chill the tray in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up the bananas and help the chips stick.
- Serve immediately, preferably within an hour of making.
Notes
Use firm, ripe bananas (yellow with a few brown spots) for best results. Avoid overripe bananas as they will fall apart. Chill the chocolate chips for 5 minutes if your hands are warm to prevent melting. These are best eaten fresh; do not store for more than a few hours. For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
