These Halloween banana pop treats are easy to make and absolutely delicious. They make the best Halloween treat. This Halloween themed snack or dessert is one of my kids favorite treats, but really kids of all ages will love this Halloween treat. I love that they are are a semi-healthy snack because frozen bananas are the main ingredient.
Let’s Make Halloween Banana Pops Treats
Your kids are going to love this Halloween treat. It’s sweet, and has a nice crunch thanks to the sprinkles, and bananas are healthy! It’s better than ice cream or lots of Halloween candy, and is still tasty. Does it have some extra sweet on it? Yes, but a Halloween treat is okay every now and then.
Oh, and choose fresh bananas with no blemishes when making Halloween Banana Pops Treats so that they are easier to handle when inserting a popsicle stick.

Ingredients Needed To Make This Banana Halloween Treat
Directions to Make Healthy Halloween Banana Pops
Step 1
First, peel the bananas and remove any banana “hairs” (those stringy things.)
Step 2
Cut in half. Carefully insert a popsicle stick about 1/4 to 1/3 the way in, making sure not to split the banana.
Step 3
Place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet or baking pan and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Step 4
In a microwave safe dish, melt candies according to package instructions.
Tip: You can also change up the color of the melting candies. I think chocolate or white would go great with a Halloween theme. Just choose a contrasting sprinkle to go with your banana pops.
Step 5
Using a spoon, fork or spatula spread melted candies on a frozen banana. Work quickly because the candy will harden fast.
Step 6
Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles. Work on just one Halloween Banana Pop Treat at a time.
Step 7
Return banana pops to parchment lined cookie sheet and place back in freezer for about 20 minutes or until completely set.
Step 8
Keep frozen until ready to serve.
Variations On This Delicious Halloween Banana Treats
You can use any color candy melts you want! You can use fun colors like:
And you can use any of the sprinkles you want. There are so many different Halloween sprinkles you can use like:
Make your Halloween banana treat any way you want. Make it one color and drizzle another over it. Add sprinkles. Freeze candy bars like 3 Musketeers or Butterfinger or Heath and smash them and use them as sprinkles. There are so many ways to make these Halloween banana treats super spooky and and delicious.
I wouldn’t save these for too long. When you freeze the bananas, especially long term the consistency changes. And leaving it in the fridge will allow your banana to brown and get soft. So I would suggest eat them same day.
