Presentation & Serving

I’m so excited to share how to present and serve these adorable Boo-nana Ghosts! 🎃

For the best look, carefully lay the banana halves on a funky Halloween-themed platter. The ghosts will really stand out against a dark or orange background. 🖤🧡

Add some fun touches:

• Sprinkle shredded coconut around the base for a ghoulish effect.
• Use a handful of chocolate chips to create eyes and mouths on the ghosts.
• Arrange mini pumpkin candies or candies in-between each Boo-nana for extra Halloween flair. 🍬

Quick Tips:

• Chill the platter for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the chocolate set and keeps everything fresh.
• Use a toothpick or skewer to help make perfect ghost faces. You’ll get just the right size for the chocolate chips. 😊

Best of all, each guest can easily grab a Boo-nana from the platter. This makes it perfect for parties or even just a sweet morning treat.

Happy haunting, and enjoy the delicious fun! 👻🍌

Storage Tips

Keeping my Boo-nana Ghosts fresh is super simple! 🍌👻 Here’s how I do it:

Refrigerator Storage:

• I use an airtight container to keep them fresh.
• They stay good for 2-3 days in the fridge.
• To avoid browning, I squeeze a bit of lemon juice on the bananas. 🍋

Freezer Storage:

• I wrap each Boo-nana Ghost in wax paper or plastic wrap.
• I place them in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn.
• These little guys are good to go for up to a month in the freezer. 🥶

Reheating and Enjoying:

• When I want to enjoy them again, I let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes if they’re frozen.
• They’re just as delicious when slightly thawed.

🐵🍌✨ These tips keep my spooky breakfast treats tasty and ready for any time!

Recipe Variation

I’m so excited to share some fun twists on the Boo-nana Ghosts Breakfast Recipe!🎃 Here are a few variations to keep things exciting and delicious:

Equipment:

• Knife
• Cutting board
• Small bowls

Ingredients:

• Ripe bananas
• Mini chocolate chips
• Peanut butter or almond butter
• Yogurt or chocolate syrup

Instructions:

• Slice the bananas into halves.
• Spread a little peanut or almond butter on the flat side.
• Add chocolate chips for eyes and mouth.

For an extra spooky touch, I like to dip the banana halves in yogurt and freeze them for a cool treat.🥶 You can also drizzle some chocolate syrup for a sweet topping.

Try using nuts or dried fruits instead of chocolate chips for healthier ghosts. You can also sprinkle some coconut flakes to make them look fuzzy and adorable! 🥥

Make it nut-free by using sunflower seed butter or cream cheese. These little changes can add big creativity and fun. Let me know which variation you tried! 🧙‍♀️
