Muffin Tin Monday: Halloween Ghost Banana Snack

October 24, 2011 by Susie Chadwick 5 Comments

For today’s muffin tin meal, and in keeping with our Halloween theme, Maggie and I made a ghost banana muffin tin snack.  I saw something similar in Family Fun magazine last year, but I most recently saw this idea from anotherlunch.com via Pinterest.  Not only was this Halloween snack a hit with both of my kids, it’s kid-friendly to make, too!

Halloween Muffin Tin Snack: Ghost Banana

We used eliachi bananas, which are itty-bitty, and pieces of chocolate bar.  Kids can help with all of the steps for this Halloween snack.

  • Peel the banana.
  • If you’re using a regular banana, cut it in half with a plastic knife.
  • Stick three chocolate chips in one end of each banana half, to make the ghost’s face.
  • Serve in a Halloween muffin cup or liner!

You may recall that my kids don’t eat bananas.  I once served Dalton bananas with sprinkles in a muffin tin meal and he picked off each individual sprinkle and ate it.  So I was shocked that my kids actually ate their ghost snacks.  Maggie even ate two! I thought for sure they’d pick off the chocolate chips and refuse to eat the banana, but I’m glad I was wrong.  And, they requested ghost bananas again the next day.  Success!

    Really cute! I will definitely have to look out for those little bananas… (though I’m not sure that I can wait that long to try it!)

    Never underestimate the power of cute little food. My girls love bananas so I don’t have this problem but any time I have purchased mini versions of food they have been fascinated.
