Banana Giraffe

Banana Giraffe

Time:20 min Difficulty:Easy  

These giraffes go absolutely bananas

Here’s what you need:

  • Bananas
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips (or chocolate spread)
  • Almond, or pretzel pieces
  • Something for ears, like raisins, or bits of carrot

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Halve your bananas for the body.

Step 2: Put some chocolate spread into a sealable plastic bag.
If you don’t have any chocolate spread, make your own by asking a grown-up to help melt the chocolate chips. Please wait until it’s room temperature before putting it into the bag.

Step 3: Cut one of the bottom corners of the chocolate bag and carefully make tiny dots on your banana.

OPTIONAL: If you want extra-chocolaty giraffes, you can use the spread to stick chocolate chips to the banana!

Step 4: On the side of your banana, push in an almond or pretzel piece.

Step 5: Cut two little holes at the top of the banana. Slide in your raisins or bits of carrot. These are your giraffe horns (actually called Ossicones). Add some chocolate eyes, and you have yourself a banana giraffe!

That’s it — your super sweets are ready to go!
