Spooky Spiderweb Bananas - Healthy Halloween Food for Kids

This month my boys have been going mad for these fun spooky spiderweb bananas! They are incredibly easy to make and perfect for a healthy snack this Halloween.

Both of my boys love their fruit, but for some reason bananas have never been very high on their list of favourites. Once I added spooky spiderwebs to their skins though, it was a different story, with the boys asking for spider bananas every day for a week!

Be sure to check out my tutorial video so you can see just how easy these are to make!

You don't need any special equipment to make these fun Halloween bananas - just a small sharp knife and as many bananas as you'd like to serve up.

If the kids want to give this a go and make their own, they could mark their spiderwebs on with a pen instead of a knife - it's just as effective and a bit safer for little hands.

Spooky Spiderweb Bananas

Ingredients: 

• bunch of bananas

Method:

Separate the bunch into individual bananas.

Draw a sharp knife from top to bottom of a banana, scoring the skin but taking care not to cut all the way through to the flesh.

Repeat until you have scored 4 or 5 vertical lines down each banana.

Score small curved lines between each pair of vertical lines to create a spiderweb pattern all over the bananas.

Leave the bananas for 5 minutes until the scored lines turn brown.

Pack in lunch boxes or serve with plastic spiders for a fun spooky snack!
