These ooey gooey sweet Campfire Stuffed Bananas are easy to make and will soon be your new camping go-to favorite!

Holy mother of Get-In-My-Belly-Now! I think I'd make mine banana split style with chocolate, a bit of coconut, strawberry jam, and marshmallows (maybe pineapple too, but that's really pushing it)!
