These are easy to make up ahead of time. They make a wonderful treat for the first night of camping. Kids love them too!
I first learned how to make these as a small child at daycare. To this day, it's one of my most favorite simple pleasures. This is good with any kind of spread (nutella, marshmallow creme, almond butter.....) and is also good with chopped nuts. GREAT for a quick campfire dessert.

A little messy to serve, but the kids and hubby say it is well worth the mess!! VERY GOOD!

To keep it simple for camping I use Reese's peanut butter cups. at home in the fire place, i try different things. Nutella being my favorite :)
We have been making these for years, under the name of "Banana Boats". W use a combo of PB chips and Chocolate chips. It's also great with a spray of whipped cream topping on top when they are finished cooking. Yum!
My husband changed it by accident a turned out better. Instead of pb and choc chips he used an Oh henery choc bar cut in 1/2 lengthwise to fit into the banana . It was delish.
Tried to make in oven according to prior reviewers directions. It was ok but I think banana et al probably cooks better over a fire. I would have like my banana more well done (rather than just warm).
It was great! We had this for dessert after camper pies and made them on the hot coals just as directed. Delicious and simple, and other than the chocolate chips, good for you, too.
This is how we do this: Peel back one section of peel and cut out a pie shaped wedge of banana. Sprinkle in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, close banana and wrap in foil. Then cook it over a campfire and eat with a spoon. It is the best camping dessert ever!
I am not a big peanut butter fan so I made mine with double chocolate and my husbands with the chunky peanut butter and chocolate. I grilled them and put into a bowl with a few scoops of French Vanilla Ice Cream on top. WOW I have to say it was fabulous. Warm and cold all in the same bite. MMMMMMMM GOOD!!!!
I've made this since I was a kid, but never thought to put peanut butter in it. It's also very good with marshmellows. That's how I've always made it.
very good, a five star recipe if you also add minature marshmellows.
Wow, this was a great, warm treat for a chilly New England Autumn morning! Obviously I didn't make it over a fire... I baked it for 15 minutes at 350 as some other reviewers did, and it was soooo good! I'm not as into chocolate as most people are so I used about half the amount and it was perfect for my particular taste. Thanks for one of the best treats I've ever had!
Really yummy treat and nice camping idea. It's winter right now, so I had to bake it in the oven. I wrapped the banana in foil and put directly on the top oven rack. I baked for 15 minutes at 450°. My only issue was I used a rather ripe banana, and some liquid had to be drained off before I ate it. It was still very good. Only a tablespoon of chocolate chips was just enough for my one banana.
These were good, easy, and pretty healthy (except when you eat them with ice cream like I did) I did cook mine in the oven at 350 for probably 15 minutes. Really good, fast treat!
Super good. We substituted marshmallows and Reese’s peanut butter cups instead of the peanut butter. Super delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh my this dish is superb. I dont usually eat sweets... Oh my serve with vanilla ice cream
Threw these on the BBQ when the burgers were done. Really nice end to a BBQ dinner. I used chunky peanut butter for mine and my son's, and smooth for my husband's (personal preferences). Make sure you add enough chocolate chips!
I made this in the oven and it was delicious. I baked them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. I did not have chocolate chips so I used Hershey’s syrup in place of the chocolate chips. This is one of my favorite simple dessert now. My 7 year old daughter absolutely loved it and it was nice that it is a healthier dessert than most desserts!
