  • Author: Monica
  • Total Time: 15 min

Description

Ripe bananas stuffed with chocolate, marshmallows, and your favorite toppings, then melted to gooey perfection over a campfire or grill — the perfect easy outdoor dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas

  • ½ cup mini marshmallows

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)

  • ¼ cup crushed graham crackers (optional)

  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional: peanuts, almonds, walnuts)

  • Optional toppings: peanut butter, caramel sauce, sprinkles, shredded coconut


Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the bananas:
Leaving the peel on, slice each banana lengthwise (without cutting all the way through), creating a pocket.

2️⃣ Fill the bananas:
Gently open the banana and stuff with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and any other fillings you like (graham crackers, nuts, peanut butter, etc.).

3️⃣ Wrap in foil:
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in aluminum foil.

4️⃣ Cook:

  • Campfire or grill: Place foil-wrapped bananas over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until everything is melted and gooey.

  • Oven option: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes.

5️⃣ Unwrap and serve:
Carefully open foil (hot!) and enjoy straight from the peel with a spoon. Add caramel drizzle, extra toppings, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Customize with your favorite candy (mini peanut butter cups, toffee bits, etc.).

 

  • You can prepare these ahead and keep chilled until you’re ready to cook.
