BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Peel banana and place it on a plate. Slice banana in half, lengthwise.
• Spray whipped cream on the cut surface of both banana halves. Then fold banana halves together until the two strips of whipped cream touch. Be careful to not squeeze too firmly (or the whipped cream will ooze out too far).
• Add a maraschino (or two) on top.
• For dessert, you can sweeten it up a bit by drizzling a thin line of caramel or chocolate syrup over the whipped cream, or sprinkling chopped walnuts, baking sprinkles, shredded coconut, or other kid-friendly treats on top.

BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F or prepare a grill for medium indirect heat. For a gas grill (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For a charcoal grill, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Break the chocolate bar into squares. Lightly spray kitchen shears with cooking spray and cut the marshmallows in half crosswise.
• Use a paring knife to cut a slit down the center of 1 unpeeled banana lengthwise, being sure not to cut all the way through. Gently insert alternating pieces of half the chocolate and 4 marshmallow halves. Press the marshmallows into the banana as much as possible so they don't stick out too much. Wrap the banana in nonstick aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining banana, chocolate and 4 marshmallow halves.
• Bake or grill over indirect heat, covered, until gooey, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 1 minute before unwrapping and eating.

BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan. Using a sharp paring knife, make a lengthwise slit down one side of each banana, slicing through the peel but not the flesh and leaving the ends intact. Loosen peel slightly with your fingers, and stuff each banana with 1/4 cup marshmallows and 1 ounce chocolate. Press peel together gently to enclose filling completely, and wrap bananas in foil.
• Using tongs, place bananas on grill; cook, turning occasionally, until they are softened and filling has slightly melted, 5 to 7 minutes, depending on ripeness of bananas. Remove bananas from grill, and let cool slightly before carefully removing foil. Serve.

FIRE PIT BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Cut your aluminum foil into pieces that are about 8"x12" or 12"x12".
• Unpeel the banana, and cut a slice down the middle.
• You don't want to cut all the way through, but you just want a gap so you can put marshmallows and chocolate chips in it.
• 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.
• It will usually take about 5 minutes to cook depending on how hot the coals/fire is.
• 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.
