You Can Call Them "Banana Boats" If You Want. I Just Call Them AMAZING.

Campfire Bananas have definitely become A Thing around our house. Ever since I introduced the husband and short person to them, one of them has been asking me to make them at least three times per week and the other one has been walking out of the grocery store with an obscene quantity of bananas in hand a few times each week. I'll let you go ahead and figure out which is which.

Whenever I end up making the same time several times in a short period of time, I have a habit of digging through the pantry and seeing what variations I can make of that thing. My theory is that if something is good, you can't really screw it up by substituting an ingredient or two. In fact, it often leads to a lot of improvements on things that I didn't know could be improved.

Campfire Bananas.

Improved.

YES. REALLY.

Go review the original post about them if you need a reminder of how they are made and then go dig through your pantry and try some twists on the original idea:

Nutella and marshmallow. I mentioned the idea of throwing Nutella in there on the original post, and it turned out to be just as amazing as I imagined. And then some.

Rolos and marshmallows. Yes, ROLOS. I don't monkey around with Campfire Bananas, people. I cut the Rolos in half and then shoved them in that banana along with some marshmallows. It only took three Rolos to do it, and those three Rolos sang the Hallelujah Chorus when I first tried them.

And my absolute favorite . . .

This one started with me making Pineapple Upside Down Cake Dip, and ended with me stealing a bit of the crushed pineapple before I started that recipe. I tossed the spoonful of crushed pineapple, some chocolate chips, and some coconut into the banana. And then I died. Happy.

I need to make about ten more of that one so I can make banana splits with them. Oh, yes, I do.
