    I love your ideas! How fun. We’ll make the boonanas at my next “I’m Alive!” food prep class for kids: on Halloween. (Maybe we’ll make some green smoothie “swamp sludge” to go with it) We last made choc-o-lanterns, by hollowing out oranges, carving faces, and filling with raw chocolate pudding. Please see my Facebook page for a recent post of photos from the class!

    Oh, I forgot one special detail: Pop a cinnamon stick on top of your choc-o-lantern for the pumpkin stem.
