Ingredients
- Bananas (ripe but firm)
- Mini marshmallows
- Chocolate squares or chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate recommended)
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), peanut butter or Nutella, shredded coconut, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F).
- Wash and dry the bananas. Slice each banana lengthwise, stopping about half an inch from the bottom to keep it intact.
- Gently pry open the slit and stuff with about 2 tablespoons each of mini marshmallows and chocolate squares. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Place each stuffed banana on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly to seal.
- Place foil packets on the grill grates and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning once halfway through. Check after 8 minutes for golden marshmallows and melted chocolate.
- Remove foil packets using tongs and let cool for a minute or two before unwrapping carefully.
- Serve warm, scooping into bowls or eating straight from the foil.
Notes
If marshmallows brown too fast, lower the heat or move packets to a cooler part of the grill. For softer bananas, grill a minute or two longer but watch for foil tears. Can be made in a grill pan or oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes wrapped in foil if no grill is available. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
