Halloween has always been one of my favourite holidays. I like dressing up. I like being scared. And I obviously love candy. And while I’m never going to be one of those crunchy moms that hands out tooth brushes to trick or treaters, I get that you may want to have some healthier treats on hands for the kids on October 31st. Fruit is always a legit healthy treat, and these Halloween Banana Ghosts and Clementine Pumpkins fit the bill as fun and good for you.

How to Make Halloween Banana Ghosts and Clementine Pumpkins

I’m a fan of anything with chocolate, so turning hum drum bananas into amazingly delicious ghosts and mummies on a stick is a pretty sure fire way to get anyone to eat their fruit. To make these Halloween Banana Ghosts, you just pop half of a banana onto a popsicle stick and put some melted dark chocolate into a piping bag with a tiny hole cut out. Then draw two eyes and a big O for a mouth. BOO!

The Halloween Banana Mummies are similar, except we put eyes and a bunch of stripes like mummy wrapping.

As for the clementine pumpkins, these are just peeled clementines (every kid’s favourite anyway), with a tiny piece of celery for a stem, and some more chocolate drawn on as a face. So cute, right?

Heck, I don’t even have kids, and I’m pumped about making these Halloween Banana Ghosts and Clementine Pumpkins for my adult friends. Way more fun than a traditional fruit platter- and totally tasty, too! I also love them because they’re naturally vegan and gluten free, so they’re perfect for entertaining a group with a wide range of dietary restrictions.

What kind of healthy treats do you prepare for your kids for Halloween?
