Start a campfire or preheat a grill to medium heat.
Take each banana and leave the peel on. Slice down the center lengthwise, about three-quarters of the way through, being careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
Gently open the banana slightly at the cut, creating a pocket for the fillings.
Stuff each banana pocket with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers.
Wrap each banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring no openings remain.
Place the wrapped bananas on the outer edges of the campfire coals or on a grill over medium heat.
Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chocolate and marshmallows are melted and the banana is warmed through.
Carefully remove the foil-packaged bananas from the heat and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Open the foil, garnish with more graham cracker crumbs if desired, and enjoy the gooey dessert straight from the peel with a spoon!
