Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Lollipop or popsicle sticks
  • Freezer
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Zip-top bag
  • Rolling pin or cup (for crushing)
  • Spoons for serving
  • Clear plastic cups or small mason jars

Method
 

  1. Make the pudding first: In a large bowl, whisk instant pudding mixes with cold milk for 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken, then fold in half of the whipped topping. Refrigerate.
  2. For Boo-nana Ghosts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel bananas, cut in half widthwise, and insert a stick into each cut end. Freeze on the sheet for 30 minutes.
  3. Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Dip each frozen banana into melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on parchment. Immediately add mini chocolate chips or candy eyes for a face. Let harden (refrigerate to speed up).
  5. For the cookie 'dirt': Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush finely with hands, a rolling pin, or cup.
  6. For Mummy Mini Pizzas: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Split English muffins and place on a baking sheet.
  7. Spread about 1 tablespoon pizza sauce on each muffin half. Sprinkle with a little cheese, then lay strips or clumps of mozzarella cheese haphazardly across, leaving a gap near the top for eyes.
  8. Place two small black olive slices in the gap for eyes. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are crispy. Cool briefly before serving.
  9. To assemble parfaits: In clear cups, layer crushed cookies, pudding mixture, more cookies, a dollop of remaining whipped topping, and a final sprinkle of cookies. Add 2-3 gummy worms crawling out the top and down the sides.
  10. Set up a decorating station for banana ghosts and a parfait bar for kids to build their own treats.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Banana ghosts and pudding can be made the day before. Cookie 'dirt' can be crushed days in advance. Mummy pizzas are best baked just before serving. For a fun activity, set up a decorating station with various toppings for the ghosts. Label allergens for guests (e.g., 'Contains Dairy'). Store leftovers: Ghost pops and parfaits in the fridge for up to a day; pizzas are best eaten fresh.
