Ingredients

Bananas

4 medium ripe bananas

White Chocolate Coating

1 cup white chocolate chips good quality melting chocolate works best
2 tablespoons coconut oil optional, helps with smooth melting and dipping

Eyes & Decorations

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for the mummy eyes
edible candy eyes small, round ones are perfect for a spooky gaze
popsicle sticks or bamboo skewers optional, for easier handling

Equipment

microwave-safe bowl,
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Popsicle sticks or bamboo skewers
Spoon or piping bag

Method

Peel and slice each banana into three equal pieces. Insert popsicle sticks or bamboo skewers into the cut end if desired for easy handling. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes until firm but not solid.
Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth and pourable. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
Dip each banana piece fully into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place back onto the parchment paper. Allow coating to set slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Drizzle remaining white chocolate back and forth over each banana to create crisscross 'bandage' patterns, leaving a small gap near the top for eyes. Slightly messy lines add to the mummy effect.
Press two edible candy eyes into the gap while the chocolate is still wet to adhere. If no candy eyes are available, use melted semi-sweet chocolate and a toothpick to dot the eyes.
Return the bananas to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to fully set the chocolate. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
