Steps:

Cut a small piece off the curved side of 4 unpeeled bananas so they can sit flat, then make a deep slit down the center of the other side through the peel. Place each on a sheet of foil. Open the slits and brush the bananas with melted butter, then sprinkle with sugar and stuff each with 1 ounce chopped semisweet chocolate. Fold in the sides of the foil and seal to form a packet. Grill over high heat until the chocolate melts, 6 to 8 minutes. To serve, open the peels and top with chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, nuts and a maraschino cherry.

Tips:

Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few hours.
Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of your banana splits. Look for a chocolate that is rich and flavorful, with a high cocoa content.
Don't skimp on the toppings. The toppings are what really make banana splits special. Be generous with your toppings, and use a variety of different ones to create a fun and festive dessert.
Serve immediately. Banana splits are best served immediately after they are assembled. The ice cream will start to melt if you let them sit for too long.

Chocolate banana splits are a classic dessert that is always a hit. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect chocolate banana split that will satisfy your sweet tooth and leave you wanting more.
