Family Bucket List: Grilled Banana Boats

I know that I took a picture of this recipe/project, but I cannot find it anywhere!  I found this recipe and thought the kids would enjoy making it since they could pretty much put whatever they want in their banana boats, but the girls both picked to make S'mores so we made them all the same.  

Here's what I learned about this recipe, if you want a sturdier banana when cooked, use a fresh banana.  If you use a banana that's starting to brown it gets very soft and mushy.  Depends on the type of texture you like, as my kids each liked a different one.  Plus, if you use a mushier banana, it gives off a lot of liquid so your toppings get more incorporated, and a little diluted.  I personally think fresher bananas are a better idea, but to each his own.  

Ingredients needed for a S'more Banana Boat:
Bananas (unpeeled, 1 per person)
mini chocolate chips
mini marshmallows
aluminum foil

To start, split your banana down the middle. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the skin on the underside. Press the ends of the banana to create the "boat"
  
Next fill the boats with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows....or whatever ingredients your heart desires! 
Wrap each banana in foil. To make over the campfire, place them on the grate over the fire for 5-10 minutes, or in the oven or grill at 300 for about 15 minutes.
