Description: This delightful treat brings back memories of camping trips with my Girl Guide leaders, where we eagerly crafted these gooey banana desserts around the campfire. Kids absolutely adore the combination of soft, warm banana, rich chocolate, and sweet mini marshmallows, making it a hit for outdoor adventures or any fun gathering. For the best results, I highly recommend using pure chocolate bars rather than those with fillings to achieve that ultimate melted goodness.

Instructions
- Begin by peeling one side of each banana, leaving the skin attached at the bottom; this will help you fold it back later.
- Provide each person with a spoon to hollow out the banana, creating a canoe-like shape without removing all the flesh.
- Enjoy the banana flesh you hollowed out as a tasty snack!
- Break the chocolate bar into small pieces and fill the hollowed-out portion of the banana with the chocolate and mini marshmallows.
- Once filled, fold the peel back over the banana and wrap it tightly in foil to secure the filling.
- Place the wrapped bananas in the hot coals of the campfire for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the heat to melt the chocolate and marshmallows.
- Carefully remove the bananas and let them cool for a couple of minutes to avoid burning your hands.
- Unwrap and indulge in this ooey-gooey treat while it’s still warm!
Enjoy this nostalgic camping favorite that’s sure to delight both kids and adults alike!
