Grilled banana splits
This is a fun twist on a classic ice cream sundae. Bananas are grilled in their skins with chocolate and wrapped in foil. Unwrap and pile on the ice cream and fun sundae toppings for a personalized treat!
Cut a small piece off the curved side of 4 unpeeled bananas so they'll sit level, then make a deep slit down the center of each through the peel; place on separate sheets of foil
Open the slits and brush the inside of each banana with melted butter, then sprinkle with sugar and 1 ounce chopped semisweet chocolate; fold up the foil.
Grill the packets over high heat until chocolate melts, 6 to 8 minutes (don't worry if the peel turns brown).
Open the peels and top the bananas with ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry.
