Ghost Fruit Skewers – A Fun & Healthy Halloween Snack for Kids and Parties

Last Halloween, my kitchen smelled like bananas and chocolate. The kids couldn’t wait, so we made these Ghost Fruit Skewers Halloween Snack together. They loved painting eyes on the ghosts, and I loved that they chose fruit over candy. A quick, no-bake treat that makes memories and fills little bellies.

Why You’ll Love These Ghost Fruit Skewers

I grew up with candy-filled Halloweens, but now I like balance. These ghost skewers bring the fun without the sugar crash. They take 10 minutes, keep kids laughing while decorating, and vanish faster than cupcakes at parties.

When my son took them to his classroom, his teacher even asked for the recipe. That’s when I knew I had found a keeper. If your family already loves Halloween Ghost Pancakes, this will be another seasonal favorite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

When I first tested this recipe, I realized simple works best. You only need a few things:

• Bananas (firm ones hold up better)
• Mini marshmallows
• Chocolate chips or candy eyes
• Wooden skewers
• Optional: melted white chocolate or vanilla yogurt

One time, I swapped the marshmallows for strawberries, and the kids called them “bloody ghosts.” That’s the fun—you can mix it up. If you enjoy Fun Fall Kid Snacks, this is right up your alley.

How to Make Ghost Fruit Skewers

Step-by-Step Instructions

I made these last year in a rush before a party. No stress at all. Here’s how:

1. Slice bananas into chunky bites.
2. Thread bananas and marshmallows onto skewers.
3. Press chocolate chips in for eyes.
4. For spooky effect, dip in melted white chocolate or yogurt.
5. Chill for at least 20 minutes.

Tips for the Best Results

I once used very ripe bananas—they turned mushy by the time guests arrived. Lesson learned: always pick firm bananas.

• Keep skewers chilled until serving.
• Let kids decorate. Their ghosts look silly but taste great.
• Make extra. Trust me—they vanish fast, like Halloween Monster Face Smoothies at breakfast.

Creative Variations to Try

My niece wanted “scary ghosts” one year, so we added fruit leather strips as mummy wraps. They were hilarious and tasty.

• Use strawberries or melon for red “ghosts.”
• Replace marshmallows with melon balls or yogurt bites.
• Wrap ghosts in thin fruit leather for a mummy look.
• Drizzle dark chocolate for spiderwebs.

Each variation makes the platter more colorful and spooky. I love watching kids pick their “favorite ghost.”

Serving & Storage Suggestions

I like serving these on a black Halloween tray with mini pumpkins. The colors pop, and the kids rush to grab one.

Pair them with Greek yogurt dip or a small dish of chocolate sauce. They taste best the same day. But you can chill them in the fridge for up to 12 hours.

I once made a batch the night before a party, and they still looked fresh. Just don’t leave them sitting out too long.

More Spooky Halloween Snack Ideas

One year, I built a whole “haunted snack table.” These ghost skewers sat next to cheesy bones and creepy smoothies. The kids thought it was the best part of the party.

If you love themed food, try pairing these with Halloween Ghost Pancakes for breakfast, Fun Fall Kid Snacks after school, or Halloween Monster Face Smoothies for a playful drink. Together, they turn an ordinary October day into a spooky little feast.
