Haunted Pumpkin Patch

Banana Ghosts and Pumpkin Mandarins

Halloween is just around the corner, meaning plenty of tricks and treats. But treats don’t always have to be candy! Here is a fun way to incorporate healthy snacks for your spooky spread. Create a haunted pumpkin patch with banana ghosts and Mandarin pumpkins:

Banana Ghosts:

You’ll need:

4-6 Bananas* (1 banana makes 2 ghosts)

12-18 Semi-sweet chocolate chips pieces

1. Peel your bananas.
2. Cut the peeled bananas in half (so your ghosts can stand upright)
3. Take 3 chocolate chip, place two next to each other and one underneath the two. This creates your ghosts face.
4. Stand the bananas upright on the flat side

Pumpkin Mandarins:

You’ll need:

2-4 Mandarins*

1-2 celery stalks

1. Peel your mandarins
2. Chop your celery stalk into 1 ½ inch pieces
3.  Press into the top of the Mandarins to make the pumpkin stems.

Create your haunted pumpkin patch by arranging the mandarins and bananas how ever you’d like.

*Number will vary depending on amount desired.
