Introduction

Sweet, gooey and delicious, this treat is high in potassium, low fat, and unusual. It is a childhood favorite of mine and a good way to use up ripe bananas.

Ingredients

    1 small banana
    10 - 12 miniature marshmallows
    1 tsp dark chocolate chips

Directions

For each person, take one banana and pull back peel along inner curve but do not detach. Next, cut "V" shaped groove along curve and lift out that section carefully in one piece. Drop in chocolate chips and marshamallows, replace banana top piece and lay peel down again. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake upright in 350 degree oven for half hour. Remove, unwrap, and prepare for the yummy, sticky treat that awaits. This will be hot! Can also be heated on a campfire rock or over charcoal but may take longer - 45 minutes? depending upon heat. Another variation is to use butterscotch chips instead of chocolate. A healthier dessert than ice cream or pudding but just as rich and satisfying.
