Chocolate Chip Banana Boat
Okay, this recipe is simple, but last year when I told a friend I was going to write this book he said I had to include it. I’d never heard of doing this, nor had a number of my friends. In fact, though I found many friends who made a version including marshmallows over a campfire as a kid, I didn’t find one other person who’d actually made this. So I’m guessing that most folks won’t have had it before. Trust me; if you like bananas and chocolate, you’ll wish you’d tried it sooner!

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Hold the unpeeled banana so the ends point up. Create a pocket by slicing it down the middle about 1/2 inch from one end to 1/2 inch from the other, being sure not to cut all the way through. Place the banana on a small baking sheet, ends still pointing up, and push the ends slightly toward each other to open the banana. Tuck the chocolate chips evenly in the opening. Bake the stuffed banana for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the banana is soft and the chips are mostly melted. Using a fork, gently mash the melted chips into the softened banana. Serve immediately.
