Grilled Chocolate Bananas

I love things that sound weird but taste incredible! We had these at a party last night!
4 bananas

2 ounces Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chip

2 ounces of Toffee Candy Crunch

2 ounces miniature marshmallows

Whipped cream or ice cream, optional

Step 1: Preheat grill. Using a sharp knife, make a slit along most of the length of the unpeeled banana skin and almost through the bananas. Push chocolate chips and marshmallows and toffee into the slits; push the bananas closed. Wrap each banana tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 2: Place the banana packets on the grill rack and cook for 10 minutes, turning the packets after five minutes. Remove from the grill. Carefully open the banana packets and remove the cooked bananas from the aluminum foil. Note: You can serve in the aluminum foil.

Step 3: If desired, serve with either whipped cream or ice cream. Serve with a teaspoon to scoop out the cooked banana flesh covered in melted chocolate.
