Ingredients
- Ripe bananas (peeled and sliced into 1-inch chunks)
- Mini chocolate chips (use dairy-free if needed)
- Strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- Green grapes (washed and dried)
- Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, bite-sized)
- Wooden skewers
- Optional: blueberries, kiwi slices, melon chunks, melted dark chocolate
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas into 1-inch chunks. Hull and slice strawberries, wash and dry grapes, and cut pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
- Using mini chocolate chips, press them gently into the banana slices to create eyes and a mouth. For detailed faces, carve small indentations with a toothpick before adding the chocolate chips.
- Start with a banana ghost at the bottom of the skewer. Add a strawberry slice, a grape, and a pineapple chunk. Repeat the sequence until the skewer is full, ending with another banana ghost at the top.
- If the chocolate chips aren’t sticking well, use a dab of melted chocolate or honey as adhesive.
- Lay the skewers on a serving tray, arranging them creatively for maximum visual impact. Serve immediately or refrigerate until your party starts.
