Presentation & Serving
I’m so excited to share how to present and serve these adorable Boo-nana Ghosts! π
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. π€π§‘
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. π¬
Quick Tips:
- Chill the platter for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the chocolate set and keeps everything fresh.

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! π»π

Keeping my Boo-nana Ghosts fresh is super simple! ππ» Hereβs 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. π
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. π₯Ά
Reheating and Enjoying:
- When I want to enjoy them again, I let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes if theyβre frozen.
