Banana BasicsLook for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

After wrapping in foil, you can also bake in the oven at 350 degrees until warm (about 10 minutes).

I learned this recipe while camping with my Girl Scout troop 40 years ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!! By the way, these are excellent with any flavor chips, not just chocolate.

My sister-in-law made these when we were camping and they were so good!!! We also added coarsely crushed graham crackers in addition to the choc chips and marshmallows for more of a S'mores taste. Yummy!!!
