Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut one end with a small knife in a zig zag pattern. Push a wooden ice lolly stick in by about two thirds Freeze the bananas on a tray for at least 3 hours
- Just before taking the bananas out of the freezer, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a bain-marie or pyrex bowl in a saucepan of hot water. Place the chocolate sauce in a small icing bag with a thin nozzle.
- Take the bananas out of the freezer and stick two chocolate buttons to make the spooky eyes using edible glue or rice syrup.
- Then zig zag over the melted chocolate – this will set almost immediately.
- Either devour straight way or store in a plastic bag in the freezer until Halloween!
