(Recipe) Mummied Bananas

It’s that time of year again when the air gets crisper, leaves transform into vibrant hues, and pumpkins start appearing on front porches. Yes, Halloween is just around the corner—about 2 to 3 weeks away—and there’s no better way to get into the spooky spirit than by whipping up some festive treats.

But before you reach for the sugar-laden candies and artificially colored snacks, consider something healthier yet equally fun: Mummied Bananas! Not only are they a great way to involve kids in the kitchen, but they’re also a nutritious option that doesn’t skimp on the Halloween flair.
