Print Recipe

A quick and easy campfire dessert featuring ripe bananas stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate, and peanut butter chips, wrapped in foil and cooked over open flames for a gooey, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe but firm bananas (with a few brown spots)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows or about 12 large marshmallows, broken in half
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter chips (Nestlé Toll House recommended)
  • Optional: chopped nuts or shredded coconut for texture
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions

  1. Peel the bananas but keep them whole. Slice each banana lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to create a pocket.
  2. Gently open each banana pocket and stuff with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. Use about 1/4 cup of mixed fillings per banana to avoid overflow.
  3. Tear off a piece of heavy-duty foil large enough to wrap each banana boat completely. Wrap tightly, folding edges securely to keep fillings inside.
  4. Place the foil-wrapped banana boats on hot coals or over a campfire grate. If using a grill, place on indirect heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs to ensure even melting. The marshmallows should softly crackle and the chocolate should be visibly melted.
  5. Use gloves or tongs to remove from heat. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then carefully unwrap and serve with a spoon or fork.

Notes

Do not overcook bananas to avoid mushiness or burning. Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing. Keep fire at medium heat for even melting. Layer chocolate chips under marshmallows to help chocolate melt smoothly. For peanut allergies, substitute peanut butter chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips. Can be baked in oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes or cooked in a foil-lined cast iron skillet on stovetop.
