With Memorial Day marking the unofficial start of summer in the US, I’m finding that I’m searching out methods and recipes for getting chocolate on the grill!
Today I found something downright sinful: Grilled Chocolate Bananas!
4 bananas
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 ounces miniature marshmallows
Whipped cream or ice cream, optional
Preheat barbecue grill. Using a sharp knife, make a slit along most of the length of the unpeeled banana skin and almost through the bananas.
Push chocolate chips and marshmallows into the slits; push the bananas closed. Wrap each banana tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the banana packets on the grill rack and cook for 10 minutes, turning the packets after 5 minutes. Remove from the grill. Carefully open the banana packets and remove the cooked bananas from the aluminum foil. (You can serve in the aluminum foil.)
If desired, serve with either whipped cream or ice cream. Serve with a teaspoon, to scoop out the cooked banana flesh covered in melted chocolate. Make 4 servings.

We did this on Girl Scout camping trips, but I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder! I can’t wait to try it again.
Hi Minnie! Another reason I feel robbed for never getting to be a Girl Scout
I definitely did this in Girlscouts too,
but we called them Banana Boats.
mm, I love these.. We call them banana boats… I make them every time we go camping..
