Can I make these skewers the night before?

Yes, but keep them chilled in an airtight container. I’ve done it for a class party, and they stayed perfect. Avoid overly ripe bananas.

What can I use instead of chocolate chips for eyes?

When I ran out of chips, I used mini raisins. They worked fine. You can also try edible candy eyes or black icing.

Are ghost fruit skewers healthy?

Yes, they’re mostly fruit with a playful twist. They can be nut-free, gluten-free, or dairy-free depending on what dip you use. Always check labels if allergies matter.
