Directions for Ghost Fruit Skewers

Let’s make these Ghost Fruit Skewers—perfect kid-friendly Halloween snacks!

Prepare the Bananas

I peel 3 bananas and cut each in half crosswise. I slice each half lengthwise to create flat surfaces for ghost faces on these spooky fruit sticks.

Add Ghost Faces

Using a toothpick, I gently press 2 mini chocolate chips into each banana half for eyes, adding a third for a mouth if desired, creating cute Halloween fruit treats.

Assemble the Skewers

On each of 8–10 skewers, I slide 1 green grape, 1 red grape, and top with a banana ghost, repeating the pattern until the skewer is full for these healthy Halloween skewers.

Chill and Serve

I serve immediately or refrigerate, loosely covered with plastic wrap, to keep bananas fresh for these Ghost Fruit Skewers.
