Ingredients You’ll Need

• 3 ripe but firm bananas
• 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (helps the chocolate melt smoothly)
• ¾ cup white chocolate chips (for the “bandages”)
• Candy eyes (available at most grocery or craft stores)
• Lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks

Tools You’ll Need

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowls
• Spoon or piping bag
• Small spatula or butter knife
• Freezer-safe container

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise to create six pieces.
Insert a popsicle stick or lollipop stick into the flat end of each banana half.
Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3: Coat the Bananas
Dip each frozen banana half into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help cover the entire surface.
Let the excess drip off, then place the banana mummies back on the parchment-lined tray.
Quickly press two candy eyes onto each banana before the chocolate sets.
Return to the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the coating to harden.

Step 4: Make the Mummy Bandages
Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using the same 30-second microwave method.
Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
Drizzle the white chocolate across each banana in a zigzag pattern to resemble mummy bandages.
Don’t cover the eyes—leave them peeking out for the full spooky effect.
Freeze again for 10-15 minutes to set the bandages.

Step 5: Serve or Store
Once everything is firm, your Chocolate Covered Banana Mummies are ready to enjoy!
Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer-safe container for later.

Tips for Perfect Banana Mummies
Use Firm Bananas – Overripe bananas will be too soft for dipping and freezing.
Work Quickly – Frozen bananas can cause the chocolate to harden fast, so have everything ready.
Keep Them Cold – These treats are best served cold straight from the freezer.
Make it a Party Activity – Set up a DIY mummy-making station for a Halloween party!

Serving Suggestions
Halloween Dessert Tray – Add these to a festive platter with other themed treats.
After-School Snack – A fun and healthier option for kids when they get home.
Party Favor – Wrap them individually in clear bags tied with orange ribbon for a cute takeaway.
Movie Night – Serve with spooky-themed popcorn and apple cider for a Halloween treat combo.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
Freezer: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking.

Reheating:
No reheating necessary. These are best enjoyed straight from the freezer for that cool, creamy texture.
