Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Prepare your campfire or preheat a grill to medium heat.
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.
Using your fingers or a small spoon, gently open the slit to create a pocket in the banana.
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.
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring the foil seals completely to prevent leaking.
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.
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.
Serve the Campfire Chocolate Bananas directly in their peels for easy eating. Enjoy them as-is or pair with additional graham crackers for dipping!
