Banana S’mores
We had the first ‘campfire’ of the year this weekend in our patio fire pit. The weather has just been perfect the last few days and we knew we needed to take advantage of it while it lasted so we’ve been outside as much as possible. While the hubby got the fire going I fashioned some roasting sticks out of the black bamboo I culled from the grove last year. Looking at that link reminds me that I’ve got to do that again this year as well.
First we roasted hot dogs and brats over the fire (and toasted the buns over the fire as well) then we moved on to the marshmallows which let’s face it is what we all were waiting for. Suddenly I had a revelation – what if I roasted a banana slice and used that instead of a marshmallow in a S’more? I had to try it immediately!
I cut a thick slice of banana, skewered it on the end of a roasting stick and toasted it over the coals until it began to brown. Then I sandwiched it between two graham crackers and a square of chocolate. The heat from the banana melted the chocolate and it was delicious, but it was missing something. . .
. . . the marshmallow! Of course next I had to try a S’more with banana AND marshmallow, which was even better. Finally, I had to sacrifice for science’s sake and eat one more S’more made with only marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker. It was weirdly just as satisfying as the variations – I guess that means I just really really love S’mores.
Do you have any special way to make S’mores?

Ah gee – thanks Kathy! You’ll have to come over for s’mores this summer!
I am not a huge smore’s fan, but I thin I could get into these! 🙂 Thanks for sharing them at Whatever Goes Wednesday. 🙂
You’re welcome – thanks for stopping by!
Banana and marshmallow sounds amazing!!! I’m thinking maybe a peanut butter cup needs to be involved as well!
Yes! I was considering that too, but I figured I have a whole summer ahead to experiment 😉
Oh my!! These look so yummy!
I can’t believe I haven’t made these yet! *drools*
