Campfire S'mores Banana Boats

Adapted from realhousemoms.com

A whole banana split open in its peel, packed with chocolate chips and marshmallows, then wrapped in foil and set over the fire until everything turns molten. Scoop it out with graham crackers straight from the packet — no plates, no cleanup.

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate
• 12 mini marshmallows
• 1/2 sheet graham cracker, crushed into crumbs

• graham crackers, for scooping

Instructions

1. Lay the banana on a flat surface with the curve pointing up. With a sharp knife, slice lengthwise through the top peel and down into the fruit, stopping before you cut through the bottom peel — you want a boat that still holds together. Gently ease the banana away from the sides of the peel to open up a channel.
2. Cut the banana crosswise inside its peel into ½-inch slices, keeping the peel intact underneath. This lets the melted chocolate run down between the pieces.
3. Scatter about three-quarters of the chocolate chips into the opening, tuck the marshmallows in between, and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs in among them. Finish with the remaining chocolate chips on top. (If you'd rather keep the crumbs crisp, hold them back and add them after cooking.)
4. Wrap the whole banana snugly in a sheet of foil, sealing the top so nothing leaks. Set it on a grill grate over campfire coals or on a portable stove over medium heat and cook 8–10 minutes, until the chocolate and marshmallows are fully melted and the banana is soft.
5. Open the foil carefully — the steam is hot — and eat it straight from the peel, scooping with graham crackers.
