Steps

You’ll need: foil, knife, long tongs, spoons.

  1. With the peel on, cut a slit down the inside curve of each banana, through the fruit but not the bottom peel. Open it a little to make a pocket.
  2. Stuff the pocket with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Wrap each banana in foil.
  3. Set them on the grate or at the edge of the coals for 5 to 8 minutes, until the chocolate melts.
  4. Let them cool 2 minutes before opening; melted marshmallow is very hot. Top with graham crumbs and eat from the peel with a spoon.
