Chocolate Bacon Banana Poppers

Wonderful grilled dessert that will surprise your guests with an explosion of flavor. Chocolate. Bacon. Banana.

Ingredients

  • Bananas
  • Bacon (not maple or anything fancy, regular salty bacon)
  • Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill for high, direct heating.
  • Peel a banana and cut off the two pointy ends to make a relatively straight cylinder.
  • Now cut a wedge out of the banana from one end to the other.
  • Stuff the wedge with the chocolate squares, pushing them into the banana and pressing the banana around the chocolate to hold them in place like so

  • Now tightly wrap the banana with a strip (or two if needed) of bacon and then insert a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.
  • Put the rolled banana onto the grill over direct heat.
  • Now this can get tricky.  That bacon grease is one of the most flare-up-inviting substances you will ever put on the grill.  Keep tong in hand and eyes on that beautiful bacon and make sure you move it around to avoid the direct flames.
  • Continue to turn the banana around on the grill until the bacon is crispy and cook through on all sides.
  • Move to a plate, remove the toothpick and then proceed to thank me for this wonderful combination.
  • Rinse and repeat until you have had enough and then wash your hands and come back to GrillingCompanion.com to leave a comment...
