Banana Boats

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

This is MY version of a banana boat.

Do you remember banana Boats? We made and ate them at Girl Scout Camp.

Anyone ??

Hey, any members of Girl Scout Troup 25 of Cross Timbers, specifically Whitesboro Texas on here? HOWDY DO!!!

Well this is what you do when you have a couple bananas that are headed south…. (True banana boats work best when the banana isn’t quite so ripe.)

Get some Reynolds heavy duty foil and create a packet. Slice your banana right into the packet. Toss in a handful of chocolate chips and several marshmallows that have seen better days. Create that packet and stick in on the back of the grill, out of the way, just where it can get some heat. It’ll be ready after dinner!

Here it comes - It’s hot! And IF you didn’t seal the foil very well, hot molten lava will dribble on your toes because you are wearing flip flops (I learned not to call them thongs.)

Wow, not quite the same as Girl Scout banana boats…. but you know what? Transfer it to a serving bowl.
