A Hauntingly Fun History of Banana Ghosts
These banana ghost pops took off thanks to viral Halloween parties and Pinterest boards. The concept? A simple frozen banana dressed up as a ghost using white chocolate and mini chocolate chips. They’re now a staple in Halloween breakfast buffets and even make cute additions alongside Pumpkin-shaped Bagels or Baked Pumpkin Donuts.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium banana (firm, not overly ripe)
- 1 cup white chocolate (good quality, melts smooth)
- 8 mini chocolate chips (for the eyes)
- 4 popsicle sticks
- Wax paper (to line tray)
Optional Add-Ins
- Crushed graham crackers for “dirt” effect
- Coconut flakes for a ghostly texture
- Candy eyes for extra Halloween flair
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Bananas
Slice your banana in half lengthwise, then again crosswise so you have four quarters. Carefully push a popsicle stick into each piece. Line a tray with wax paper, lay the bananas flat, and freeze until solid—about 1 hour.
Melt the Chocolate
Pour white chocolate into a microwave-safe mug. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Tip: Use a narrow mug to allow for easy dipping.
Dip & Decorate
Dip frozen banana pieces into the chocolate, coating well. Scrape off any excess from the back. Place dipped bananas back onto the wax paper tray.
Add the Eyes
Quickly press two mini chocolate chips into each banana to make the ghost eyes before the chocolate hardens. Work fast here—the frozen bananas make the chocolate set quickly!
Freeze Again
Return to the freezer until fully set—about 20–30 minutes. Serve frozen.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use ripe-but-firm bananas – Too soft and they’ll slide off the stick
- Chill thoroughly – If the bananas aren’t frozen enough, the chocolate won’t coat properly
- Work fast after dipping – The eyes won’t stick if the shell sets
- Use good chocolate – Avoid chalky baking chips that don’t melt smoothly
- Decorate creatively – Add sprinkles or drizzles for more fun
Delicious Variations
Version 1: Monster Banana Pops
Use green candy melts and candy eyes for a Frankenstein-style look. Great paired with Creepy Cool Green Slime Punch.
Version 2: Mummy Banana Pops
Use white chocolate drizzle to “wrap” your ghost like a mummy. Serve with Mummy Mini Pizzas.
Version 3: Graveyard Pops
Stick them into crushed chocolate cookie crumbs to look like tombstones. Serve with Sweet Graveyard Chocolate Cake.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies for a spooky snack platter
- Serve on a brunch board next to Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Add to a Halloween breakfast spread with Pumpkin Magic Cake
- Kids love it with a side of Pumpkin Gnocchi—yes, even for breakfast!
