Ingredients
- 4 Bananas
- 0.5 cups Chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Mini marshmallows (optional)
- 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F/175°C).
Step 2
Take the bananas and carefully make a lengthwise slit along the curve of each banana, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom peel.
Step 3
Gently spread open the slit in each banana and stuff the inside with chocolate chips. If desired, also add mini marshmallows and/or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Step 4
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, sealing the edges to prevent leakage.
Step 5
Place the foil-wrapped bananas on the grill over indirect heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even heating.
Step 6
Check one of the bananas by carefully unwrapping the foil; the chocolate should be melted, and the banana soft and caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the bananas from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. You can eat them straight from the peel using a spoon or transfer to a dish and top with optional garnishes like whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
