I wish I could say this was my ingenious idea but alas it was not. I scored this recipe from this blog: The happy raw kitchen. I did do something differently though because the coconut was not sticking for me.
I used finely shredded coconut but since it wasn't sticking, I decided to put some in a small blender and grind it further. After that, it stuck very well. I didn't use a ziplock bag. After dousing the banana in orange juice (fresh squeezed), I rolled it in coconut and stuck the raisin eyes in before slipping a popsicle stick in the banana.
I decided to freeze them because I thought kids would like it frozen. I also made it the night before the party, so I wanted to be sure they would keep.
They are so cute and also tasty. I had fun making them and displaying them.
They were a hit at the party and really, they look so darn cute. I hope you try them!
Here's a short video clip that I recorded of Sophie enjoying one of the boo-nannas:
Have a wonderfully spooky Halloween!
