Grilled Banana Boats Recipe

One of my favorite desserts that I learned camping out with the Girl Scouts.  Your family will love it too around the campfire whether you RV, tent, or just grill in the back yard.

INGREDIENTS:

1 firm, ripe large banana per person

 chocolate chips

 miniature marshmallows
chopped pecans

*

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut a  sheet of heavy-duty foil large enough to enclose the banana and leave a little

space so the foil doesn't stick to the top of the insides.

*

2. With sharp knife, make deep lengthwise cut along inside curve of each bananaLeaving the peel on....being careful not to cut all the way through.

*

3. Open slit to form pocket. Crimp and shape 1 sheet of foil around each banana, forming boats.

*

4. Holding each banana in hand, fill pocket with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons marshmallows and about 1/2 heaping teaspoon chopped pecans.

*

5. Seal top of foil, leaving 2 to 3 inches headspace.  Crimp the ends closed. Place on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until marshmallows soften.   You can also place in campfire coals to cook.

*

Of course, you can fill your banana with anything you want...caramel, raisins, peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips...Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is a fav here...along with peanuts instead of pecans.

*

Let me know what toppings are your favorite.
