Time 18m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 large bananas, unpeeled, stems removed
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill for high heat.
  • Spray 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap bananas, with cooking spray.
  • Slice the peel of the banana from stem to bottom, while slicing the banana inside lengthwise. The bananas can be cut into slices instead if you like, (while still in the peel) for easier handling later.
  • Carefully open the banana just wide enough to place the chocolate chips and marshmallows inside the peel with the banana. Stuff with as much of the chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
  • Wrap the bananas with the aluminum foil and place on the grill or directly in the coals of a fire. Leave in long enough to melt the chips and the marshmallows, about 5 minutes. Unwrap bananas, open the peels wide, and eat with a spoon.

ALL-AMERICAN BANANA SPLIT

In 1904, the first banana split recipe was made here in Latrobe, Pennsylvania by David Strickler, an apprentice pharmacist at a local drug store. We still use his original formula when we make banana splits in our restaurants. -Melissa Blystone, Valley Dairy

Tips:

  • Prep Your Bananas Ahead of Time: Freeze your bananas for at least 2 hours before using. This will make them easier to scoop and blend.
  • Choose the Right Chocolate: Use a high-quality dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Make Your Own Whipped Cream: Freshly made whipped cream is always better than store-bought. It's easy to make and only takes a few minutes.
  • Use Fresh Berries: Fresh berries add a pop of color and flavor to your banana splits. If you don't have fresh berries on hand, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed.
  • Get Creative with Your Toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for banana splits. Some popular choices include nuts, sprinkles, crumbled cookies, and caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Backcountry banana splits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for camping, picnics, or any other outdoor adventure. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy this classic treat anywhere, anytime. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give backcountry banana splits a try.
