Banana Ghost Pops recipe
Banana Ghost Pops are a fun and healthy Halloween treat made primarily from bananas. These pops are designed to resemble ghosts, making them a festive addition to Halloween celebrations.
These ghostly banana pops are healthy, simple to make, and appeal to both kids and adults. All you need are some bananas, white chocolate, and chocolate chips for the eyes. Just dip the bananas in melted white chocolate, let them cool until set, and then add little chocolate chip eyes.
These treats can be served with drinks like spiced apple cider, pumpkin ale, or a white chocolate martini. For kids, try vanilla or chocolate milkshakes, hot chocolate with marshmallow ghosts, or green slime punch (lime sherbet and lemon-lime soda). Berry fruit smoothies or flavored sparkling water are also great choices.
You can try the banana ghost pops with crunchy granola bars, pumpkin spice cookies, chocolate eyeball truffles, or witch finger pretzels. These treats pair perfectly with the creamy banana pops for a festive Halloween vibe.

Nutrition
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 8 chocolate chips for eyes
- 4 lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Insert a lollipop stick into the cut end of each banana half.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each banana into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the dipped bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, press two chocolate chips into each banana to create ghost eyes.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your Banana Ghost Pops are ready to enjoy!
