Directions

1 Cut 6 (12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Heat gas or charcoal grill, or heat oven to 350°F.
2 With sharp knife, make deep lengthwise cut along inside curve of each banana, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open slit to form pocket. Crimp and shape 1 sheet of foil around each banana, forming boats.
3 Holding each banana in hand, fill pocket with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons marshmallows and about 1/2 heaping teaspoon chopped pecans.
4 Return each banana to its foil boat. Seal top of foil, leaving 2 to 3 inches headspace. Place on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until marshmallows soften. Or bake 15 to 20 minutes in oven until marshmallows soften. (Can also place in campfire coals to cook.)

EXPERT TIPS

The beauty of this recipe is that it can be made for 1 or 100. Just adjust the measurements to accommodate for the number of people you are serving.

The banana peel will turn black when heated. Don't worry, the dessert will still taste wonderful.

We used to make these at Girl Scout camp 20 years ago! What a trip down memory lane! Instead of peanut butter, use peanut butter chips! Less Mess!

I love making these and they always turn out wonderful. But hasn't anyone noticed that the recipe amounts are off? You can not fill 6 bananas with 2 tablespoons each of chips and marshmallows when the recipe only calls for 6 tablespoons each. You could make 3 bananas total and have 1/2 tablespoon of nuts left.
