Who doesn’t like some great snacks to eat while you watch your favorite team win? Every Wednesday, I’ll be posting a “Game Day Recipe of the Week,” which gives you plenty of time to pick up the ingredients before you head off for tailgating or invite the guys (and gals) over for the game. These recipes are quick, easy, cheap, and oh-so-tasty!
Today’s recipe is a throw-back to all of my time at day camp as a child. We made these in the dying embers of a fire, so they work great on a grill. Clean up is super easy as well – just crumble up the tin foil and you’re good to go!
Banana Boats
- Bananas
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate chips
- Miniature marshmallows
You’ll also need tin foil, and although you can make these in a microwave at home, they really are the best in a fire or over a grill, because everything slowly melts together!
To make these, slit a banana from tip to tip, making sure not to go all of the way through, but at the same time, cutting it enough to be able to open it up a bit. Do not peel it! Spread peanut butter inside, and then stuff with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Wrap the whole thing in tin foil and stick on the grill until everything is gooey.
Yuuuuummm. Make sure you have plenty of plastic forks to eat these, since they’re really messy (but totally yummy).
