    Notes

    Add some extra taste and texture to the boo-bananas by rolling the bananas in coconut.

    Try making frozen boo-nanans by placing the half banana onto the icy-pole stick. Roll banana in yoghut and place on a lined baking tray.  Cafeully attach the choc chip/current face before freezing for at least a couple of hours. Enjoy like an icy-pole.

    You can make the spider cookies as bliss balls, slimply pop in the fridge instead of baking them
