Instructions for Banana GhostsIngredients:
- Fresh bananas

- Melting the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate either using a double boiler or in the microwave until it's smooth and runny.
- Drawing the Faces: Using a small brush or a toothpick, paint spooky faces on the cut ends of the bananas. Think creepy eyes, a jagged nose, and a gaping mouth.
