Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup milk chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup graham crackers (crushed, optional)
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your campfire or preheat a grill to medium heat.
Step 2
Cut a lengthwise slit down the curved side of each banana, being careful not to slice all the way through the fruit to the bottom peel.
Step 3
Using your fingers or a small spoon, gently open the slit to create a pocket in the banana.
Step 4
Stuff each banana pocket with approximately 1/4 cup of chocolate and 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows. If desired, sprinkle a tablespoon of crushed graham crackers over the filling for added crunch and flavor.
Step 5
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring the foil seals completely to prevent leaking.
Step 6
Place the foil-wrapped bananas onto the campfire grate or grill. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the chocolate and marshmallows have melted and the banana is soft and heated through.
Step 7
Using tongs, carefully remove the foil packets from the heat and let them rest for 1–2 minutes before unwrapping. Be cautious of the hot steam when opening.
Step 8
Serve the Campfire Chocolate Bananas directly in their peels for easy eating. Enjoy them as-is or pair with additional graham crackers for dipping!
