S'mores Bananas

Submitted by Ann

Ingredients:
Ripe, firm bananas, one per person
Mini (or micromini) marshmallows
Mini chocolate chip morsels
Crushed graham crackers (optional)

Lay out piece of aluminum foil, approximately 12" X 12" (or large enough to fully enclose banana.
With banana on foil, peel back one section of banana peel, but do not remove peel from banana.
Using a butter knife, slice into banana, lengthwise. Press banana to increase opening slightly.
Fill opening with marshmallows and chocolate chips, pressing them in firmly.
Replace peel over opening and wrap banana in foil, rolling top of foil down and scrunching ends to seal securely
Grill on hot grill (or roast in 350-degree oven), about 3 - 5 minutes per side (depending on grill heat).
Carefully unwrap foil and pull back section of peel.
Sprinkle with graham crackers, if desired.
Eat with a spoon and enjoy!

NOTE: As an alternative or addition, use butterscotch or other flavored chips. Instead of crushed graham crackers, substitute bear-shaped grahams, or graham cracker cereal.
