A chilling treat  for spooky kidlets and a fabulous way to end a night of Trick or Treating.

Frozen banana ghosts

INGREDIENTS: 

• 200g bar white chocolate (supermarket own brand Belgian is good), broken into chunks
• 4 medium-large, ripe bananas
• 85g desiccated coconut (you won’t use it all)
• handful dark chocolate drops

METHOD:

1. In a small bowl, gently melt the chocolate either in the microwave – in short bursts on high or over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bowl isn’t touching the water). Set aside for a moment while you get the bananas ready.
2. Peel the bananas, cut in half, and push a popsicle stick stick into the middle of each piece. Spread the coconut out in a shallow bowl. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment, and make sure there is room for the tray in the freezer.
3. Using a pastry brush, coat a banana half in chocolate, letting excess drip away. Sprinkle with plenty of the coconut until coated, then set it on the prepared sheet. Now add two chocolate eyes and a mouth, and if you like, cut a few little eyebrows from the chocolate drops too. Freeze the banana ghosts for at least 4 hrs, and up to a week.
