Grilled Chocolate Bananas

4 servings 12 min 2 min prep

4 bananas
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 ounces miniature marshmallows
whipped cream (optional) or ice cream (optional)

Preheat grill. Using a sharp knife, make a slit along most of the length of the unpeeled banana skin and almost through the bananas. Push chocolate chips and marshmallows into the slits; push the bananas closed. Wrap each banana tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the banana packets on the grill rack and cook for 10 minutes, turning the packets after five minutes. Remove from the grill. Carefully open the banana packets and remove the cooked bananas from the aluminum foil. Note: You can serve in the aluminum foil.
If desired, serve with either whipped cream or ice cream.
You can also prepare these on a campfire, on a bed of low coals.

Answer 2

Personally, I like the Hawaiian Broccoli Slaw that I will post the recipe for, Roasted Sweet potatoes, Island Shrimp Skewers, and Chocolate Pinepple Cupcakes. Here's that recipe. I copied it from another question I answered about coleslaw.

How about Hawaiian Broccoli Slaw?

No macadamia nuts? Chopped roasted peanuts are just as delicious in this refreshing slaw.

1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup creamy-style poppy-seed dressing
3 Tbs lime juice
2 Tbs chopped scallions
1/2 tsp peeled, grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp grated lime zest
1 pkg. (12 oz) broccoli slaw, about 4 cups
2 cups packaged shredded carrots
Red cabbage, optional
Heat dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts; cook, stirring until lightly browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from skillet; reserve. In large bowl, combine dressing, juice, scallions, ginger, and zest. Add slaw and carrots; toss until well-coated. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with nuts just efore serving. If desired, hollow out cabbage and serve slaw in it.
