Sat Dec 18 2021

These banana snowmen and penguins are super cute and super yummy! 1 banana will make 3 snowmen or 2 penguins.

For the snowmen (1 banana makes 3 snowmen)

For the penguins (1 banana makes 2 penguins)

Method:

To make the snowmen, start with making the carrot noses. Cut a few slices from the carrot, then cut the slices into thin triangles to make mini carrot noses. Keep the noses safe in a small bowl.
Slide 3 slices of banana onto a wooden skewer then slide on the snowman’s strawberry hat on the end of the skewer. Put the snowman onto a plate or board and then it’s time to decorate!
Push 2 broken pieces of pretzel into the middle banana for his arms. Use raisins to make buttons and put 3 down the body of the snowman. For his face, dip a toothpick in the melted chocolate and draw a mouth and 2 eyes on the snowman’s face. Then, gently press a little carrot nose onto the face of the snowman, and you’re done!

To make the penguins, put a piece of clingfilm onto a large tray.
Cut a banana in half then dip the round part of the banana into some melted chocolate, then roll just the back of the banana in chocolate so that you have a “white” tummy that doesn’t have any chocolate on it.
Put the banana onto the tray with the clingfilm, try to keep the tummy facing up.
While the chocolate is still melted on the banana, stick 2 white chocolate chips on the face for eyes. For the beak, dip half a Smartie in some chocolate and stick it to the penguin’s face under the eyes.
For his feet, dip 2 more Smarties halves in chocolate and stick them to the bottom of the banana. And finally, dip a toothpick in melted chocolate and draw a dot of chocolate onto each white chocolate chip to finish his eyes. Now you’re done!
