Banana Boats...Are They Better Than S'mores?

My older daughter is in this amazing program called Explorer's Club. They had their annual Campout this past week and made something that may just be better than s'mores. She described it to me as follows:

Cut a banana "long ways", but not all the way through
shove in chocolate chips and marshmallows
wrap in tin foil
throw it in the fire.

I asked her how long to leave this boat in the fire and she said "I don't know, maybe half and hour". I am with her - it always takes too long when you have to wait to eat chocolate!

I would add these tips:
use mini chocolate and marshmallows
probably check after five minutes.

We will try this over a camp fire soon. But let me know what you decide...boats or s'mores.
