    Frozen Banana Ghosts 

    Ingredients: 
    4 bananas
    200g white chocolate
    Dark chocolate chips 
    Wooden lollipop sticks 

    Method:

    1. Peel the bananas and slice in half.

    2. Gently melt the white chocolate in a bowl. This can be done by bringing a saucepan of water to the boil, and placing a bowl above it, making sure it doesn’t touch the water. Put the white chocolate into this bowl and gently simmer the water until the chocolate has melted.

    3. Once the chocolate has melted, place the sticks into the end of the bananas, and dip into the white chocolate mixture.

    4. Place onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.

    5. Pop on the chocolate drops for eyes and a mouth, before placing in the freezer for a couple of hours.
