If you don’t know what a banana boat is, I feel bad for you. Banana boats are something I grew up making with my Girl Scout Troop. They have since become a campfire staple for me. It was always a fun activity; laughing around a fire as you stuffed as many marshmallows as you could into a banana. Some people might think sticking bananas into a fire is strange, but trust me, it tastes delicious. Also, they’re healthy because bananas have fiber and stuff. Everyone should try a banana boat once in their lives, if not for just the experience of roasting a banana. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 handful of chocolate chips
• 1 handful of mini marshmallows

Materials:

• Tinfoil
• Bonfire

Directions:

1. Build a bonfire.
2. Take a banana and cut a slit on the top, the long way. Make sure to keep the peel on!
3. Stuff the banana with chocolate chips and marshmallows until it is overflowing.
4. Wrap the banana in tinfoil, making sure it is completely covered.
5. Once the bonfire dies down, stick the wrapped banana boat on the hot coals.
6. Wait about five minutes for the chocolate to melt.
7. Unwrap and enjoy!
