Ingredients
Scale
- 2 firm but ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/3 cup peanut butter chips (Hershey’s recommended)
- 4 whole honey graham crackers
- Aluminum foil for wrapping
Instructions
- Preheat your heat source: campfire embers or grill set to medium heat (about 350°F/175°C).
- Slice each banana lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to create a pocket.
- Open the banana slightly and stuff evenly with mini marshmallows and peanut butter chips. Add optional nuts or shredded coconut if desired.
- Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil to create a sealed packet.
- Place foil packets on hot embers or grill grates and cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally to avoid hot spots.
- Carefully remove packets using tongs or heat-resistant gloves. Open foil slowly to avoid steam and serve with graham crackers for scooping or eat directly.
Notes
Control the heat to avoid charring bananas. Wrap foil packets tightly to trap moisture and ensure even melting. If marshmallows melt unevenly, gently press packets with a spatula during cooking. Can be baked in oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes if no campfire is available.
