• Using a small paring knife carefully slice the banana peel from top to bottom. Open up the peel like a pocket. Spread the banana with the chocolate hazelnut spread, equally divided between the 6 bananas, top each with the marshmallows and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Gently fold the banana peel back in place, wrap the bananas in aluminum foil and cook over the coals for about 10 minutes.

BAKED BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Cut each banana lengthwise about 1/2 in. deep, leaving 1/2 in. uncut at both ends. Place each banana on a 12-in. square of foil; crimp and shape foil around bananas so they sit flat.

• Place the peeled and cut banana on the foil to decorate.
• Place desired amount of chocolate chips and marshmallows in the gap.
• I try to get as much as I can in there so It's full, gooey and delicious!
• Fold the foil over the banana so nothing will leak out of the foil, and so you can keep all the good stuff in it.
• Place over coals.

• You can also cook them in the oven or over the grill if your campfire rains out.
• Medium heat on the grill for 5 or so minutes, checking every so often until desired the marshmallows and chocolate chips are at desired melting point
• Broil on high for 7-10 minutes in the oven, or until desired melting point.
