4
ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 2 (45 g) chocolate candy bars (I always used Aero) or 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1⁄2 cup mini marshmallows
- aluminum foil
directions
- Peel the banana down just one side, leaving the skin attached at the bottom of the banana so you can fold it back up later.
- Give everyone a spoon and have them hollow out the banana like a canoe.
- Don't take out all the flesh, just create a little trough for the chocolate and marshmallows.
- You can eat what you hollow out.
- Break up the aero bar into small pieces and stuff the chocolate into the hollowed out bananas, along with the marshmallows.
- Fold the peel back up over the banana and wrap tightly in foil.
- Bury the bananas in hot coals for 2-3 minutes.
- Take out and let cool for a couple minutes.
- When they are still warm, but not so hot they burn your hands, unwrap and enjoy!

Tried these in preparation for 7 days hiking in Colorado. The kids (13-18) thought they were fabulous. I thought they were horrible, but hey, I'm not hungry from hiking 10 miles at 11,000 feet and not a kid. They definitely deserve the 5 stars from the audience judging them. Thanks. My husband is a Boy Scoutmaster and we are always looking for recipes.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
