Prep: 10 min
Cook: 7 min
Serves: 4
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- •4 ripe bananas
- •12 (3 to 4 per banana) marshmallows
- •12 squares (3 to 4 squares per banana) dark chocolate
- •1/4 cup caramel chips
- •8 (2 per banana), crumbled graham crackers
Equipment
- • Campfire grill
- • Aluminum foil
- • Metal tongs
Instructions
- 1Cut a slit in each banana and open the skin slightly. Scoop out a few small chunks of banana (and eat!).
- 2Stuff 3 to 4 marshmallows in the scooped-out sections of the banana, then tuck a square of chocolate beside each marshmallow. Sprinkle a few caramel chips over top.
- 3Close the skin of the banana as much as you can, and place the bananas directly on a campfire grill. Alternatively, wrap the bananas tightly in foil and place directly on coals.
- 4Grill until the chocolate and caramel melt, and the marshmallows begin to look squidgy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 5Carefully transfer bananas to plates using metal tongs. The bananas might release some water, wipe it off with a paper towel.
- 6Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over top, and serve with a spoon for scooping.
Camp tips
- • Bananas cooked directly over the grill will have a smokier flavor.
- • Wrapping in foil results in a less smoky flavor but takes a few more minutes to cook.
