Yield 4 banana boats

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 bananas
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup crushed Golden Grahams® cereal

Steps:

  • 1. Cut 4 (12-inch) sheets of foil. 2. Make deep lengthwise cut along inside curve of each banana, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open slit to form pocket. 3. Fill each banana with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons marshmallows and 2 tablespoons cereal. 4. Wrap each banana in foil, making sure that foil opening is on top. Using tongs, set wrapped bananas in coals of campfire; cook 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove from fire; peel back foil.

Tips:

  • Be generous with toppings, especially chocolate chips, peanut butter, and marshmallows.
  • Wrap the bananas tightly in foil to prevent toppings from falling out during grilling.
  • Grill the bananas boat over medium heat to prevent burning.
  • Serve the bananas immediately after grilling, while they are still warm.
