Spooky Snack- Screaming Banana Ghosts

by Alissa Marquess on October 25, 2011

 

Usually my kids call bananas with sun butterĀ  “fairy cakes” but since Halloween is coming up we made “screaming banana ghost” snacks instead.

 

Halloween Snack- Screaming Banana Ghosts:

Slice bananas

Slice the banana on the diagonal so that you wind up with long "ghost" shaped pieces.

Spread nut butter on each banana piece

Spread your favorite kind of nut butter on each banana piece for a face.

Make mouths on the banana ghosts.

Using the tip of the knife, create a "mouth" on the ghost face.

Putting raisin eyes on banana ghosts

Leland helped put raisin eyes on the ghost snacks.

What a great idea – we have a halloween party for my son and his toddler friends and this would be perfect for them as no one has nut allergies.
