I want to sit around sharing campfire stories and enjoying these banana boats every weekend. Warm banana, melted chocolate and ooey gooey marshmallows: the taste of a fun camping trip.

5 bananas, peel on
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup mini marshmallows
Optional toppings: peanut butter chips, crushed graham crackers, nuts, caramel drizzle

1. With the peel still on, slice bananas lengthwise, cutting about halfway through so they open like a pocket.

2. Stuff each pocket with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Wrap each banana loosely in aluminum foil.

3. Place foil packets on hot coals or a grill grate 5–10 minutes, turning once or twice.

4. Carefully unwrap, add optional toppings and eat with a spoon.

Serves 5.
