I go camping quite a bit, and these Campfire Stuffed Bananas are a perfect campfire dessert. They are fast and easy, and there's very little cleanup.
I used pecans, dark chocolate baking chunks, and coconut flakes, but you could customize them to your tastes.
Other camping recipes to try are my Spicy Beans on Toast and my Camping Sangria recipe.
Another recipe to try is my Homemade Banana Cream Pie Kombucha recipe.
