Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing the ripe bananas and slice them lengthwise to create a deep pocket along one side.
  2. Generously fill each banana pocket with chocolate chunks or chips, followed by mini marshmallows. Add optional toppings if desired.
  3. Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring they are completely covered.
  4. Place the wrapped bananas onto hot embers or a grill grate and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. Once cooked, carefully unwrap the foil to release steam and allow to cool slightly before serving.
