Ghostly Banana Pops
These frozen banana pops are dipped in white chocolate or yogurt coating, decorated with candy eyes, and frozen until set. A gluten-free, no-bake Halloween treat that’s fun, festive, and ready in under 15 minutes of prep.
Equipment
- parchment-lined tray
- microwave-safe bowl
- spoon or spatula for stirring and dipping
- freezer-safe container for storage
- lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks
Ingredients
- 3 ripe but firm bananas (cut in half)
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips or yogurt chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- candy eyes or mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
- 6 lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks
- Optional: shredded coconut or crushed gluten-free cookies (for texture)
- Optional: natural food coloring (for tinted ghosts)
Instructions
- Peel bananas, cut in half, and insert sticks into the cut end. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip frozen banana halves into melted coating, swirling to cover evenly. Let excess drip off.
- Quickly add candy eyes or decorations before the coating hardens. Sprinkle with coconut or crushed cookies if desired.
- Place decorated pops back on tray and freeze until set, about 20 minutes. Serve directly from freezer.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid soggy pops. Freeze bananas before dipping for best results. Work quickly to attach eyes before the coating hardens. Make them dairy-free by using plant-based white chips. Store in the freezer up to 7 days.
