Banana mummies
Trick the kids into eating fruit by dressing up bananas with rich dark chocolate, marshmallows and a drizzle of icing to create fabulous mummified treats for Halloween.
- Peel and halve the bananas crossways. Insert a cake pop stick into the cut base of each banana. Put on a tray lined with nonstick baking paper and freeze for 1 hr.
- Meanwhile, prepare the eyeballs. Empty the mini marshmallows into a bowl, and cut 6 in half crossways. Melt the dark chocolate with the sunflower oil in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Dip each banana in the melted chocolate. Return to the tray and press in the halved marshmallows to make eyes. Freeze for 30 mins, until set.
- Microwave the remaining marshmallows on high for 20-30 secs, until just melted. Allow to cool so strands form, then wrap around each banana with a fork. Using the writing icing, dot an eye onto the marshmallow halves.
