- You can use a choice of your chocolate, like dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate for the recipe.
- If you are using white chocolate, then you can add different vibrant colours too into it for variation.

How to make Halloween banana popsicles
To prepare these Halloween banana popsicles, first, peel the bananas and cut them into half pieces. Insert Popsicle sticks in each banana piece. Take a tray and line it with wax paper. Place the bananas on the wax paper-lined tray and freeze them for an hour.
Now it’s time to melt some chocolate chips. Melt it either in a microwave or on a double boiler on the hob. By using a microwave, the process becomes quicker and easier. So, I have used a microwave for this task.
Take a microwavable coffee cup and add chocolate chips to it. Microwave it on half power for 20 seconds increments. Take the cup out and stir it nicely in each interval. Repeat the process until the chocolate melts completely without any lumps.
Keep the sparkles and candy eyes handy so that you can easily assemble them. Now it’s the most interesting part of the recipe.
Then take one frozen banana stick at a time and dip it into the melted chocolate and coat it evenly. Now, dip the top of the chocolate-coated popsicles in sparkles. After this, place the banana Popsicle on a parchment paper-lined plate or tray. Place the 2 candy eyes very carefully on the popsicles. Repeat the same process with the rest of the frozen banana pieces.
At this stage, you can stop decorating. But for some extra decoration Place an icing bag in a glass. Then transfer 2 tablespoons of warm melted white chocolate into the icing bag and cut the tip with a scissor. If the chocolate gets hard, heat it once more on half power for 10 seconds.
Drizzle chocolate over each banana popsicle, avoiding the eyes, to give it a look like the bandage of the mummies. Then allow the cookies to get set. Refrigerate it until the chocolate coating gets hard.
