How To Make Fantasy Bananas (a Campfire Treat That Beats S'mores)

Banana Boat is their street name, but these will surpass your fantasy for a campfire dessert–hence the new and improved name. Their warm, mushy goodness will win the hearts of your troop who will happily cheat on their long-beloved s’mores.

Step 1: Spark it up

Prepare a campfire and let it burn down to hot coals.

Step 2: Make a careful incision

Slit the bananas with a knife lengthwise, cutting through the skin and halfway through the banana.

Step 3: Is that a pocket in your banana?

Break up the chocolate bar and slip an even number of squares or chips into the pocket in each banana.

Step 4: No sticks, but no burnt marshmallows either (ew)

Wrap each banana up in a square of foil and place in the campfire coals (or even on a grate over the fire) for 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 5: Hot, sweet, gooey, good

Carefully open on a plate and eat the delicious mess with a spoon or fork.
