Print Recipe

A simple and delicious campfire dessert featuring ripe bananas stuffed with melted chocolate and peanut butter, wrapped in foil and roasted over the fire for a gooey, comforting treat.

Ingredients

  • Bananas – ripe but firm (medium-sized)
  • Chocolate chips or chunks – semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • Peanut butter – creamy or chunky
  • Mini marshmallows (optional)
  • Aluminum foil – heavy-duty
  • Optional toppings – crushed nuts (pecans or walnuts), shredded coconut, honey drizzle
  • Cooking spray or butter – to grease foil

Instructions

  1. Choose ripe but firm bananas. Slice each banana lengthwise down the middle, leaving about ¼ inch intact to create a pocket.
  2. Gently open the slit and stuff with 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Add mini marshmallows if using, about 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle optional toppings like chopped nuts or shredded coconut if desired.
  3. Tear off a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to wrap the banana completely. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray or rub with butter to prevent sticking. Place the stuffed banana in the center and wrap tightly, folding edges to seal.
  4. Using tongs, place the foil packet on hot embers or over indirect flames of your campfire. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally for even heat. The banana is ready when soft and the chocolate is melted.
  5. Allow the packet to cool for 1-2 minutes before unwrapping to avoid burns from steam. Serve warm, straight from the foil or with a spoon.

Notes

Use medium-ripe bananas to avoid mushiness. Double-wrap foil if cooking over direct flames to prevent tearing. Cooking over embers rather than open flames helps avoid burning. Let packets rest 1-2 minutes before unwrapping to allow steam to finish melting fillings. Variations include swapping peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter, adding fresh berries, or baking in a 375°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
