Spooky Snack- Screaming Banana Ghosts

By Alissa Marquess Zorn on October 25, 2011 (updated January 9, 2019)

Usually my kids call bananas with sun butter “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.
