Step 1: Melt the chocolate
Melt the chocolate in the microwave at half power, 30 seconds at a time, stirring between bursts. Spoon into a piping bag or a bag with the corner snipped off.
-
Step 2: Ghosts
Push the banana halves, cut side down, onto wooden sticks.
-
Step 3: Pumpkins
Cut the celery into 2 cm pieces and push one into the top of each clementine as a stem.
-
Step 4: Draw the faces
Pipe eyes and a round open mouth on the bananas, triangle eyes and a grin on the clementines. Let the chocolate set for a minute and serve.
