A yummy dessert to make as a family...

The other night, after dinner, Joel and I cleared the table off and had fun with the kids making this dessert. It's just easy enough that they can help, but yummy enough that we loved it too! Enjoy :)

Banana S'mores

Take a ripe, yet still firm banana, and peel about 1/4 of the peeling off almost all the way, but not quite. Leave it hanging on by just a little bit. Then, use a spoon to scoop out a kind of trench in the banana (a hungry two year old will be helpful at this point for eating the extra banana :) Then, in the little trench that you made, sprinkle a generous helping of graham cracker crumbs, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Replace the peeling, and wrap the banana tightly in aluminum foil. Place on cookie sheet and bake for about 9-10 minutes. The result is soooo good! Add a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and some of those little canned cherries, and it makes it even better :)

The really good news is that I have some more bananas hanging in my kitchen..... ;)
