You will need 4 bananas, a 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows, a 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips, and 4 graham crackers, broken into pieces, for this grilled bananas recipe.

First, preheat grill to medium-high or medium heat. Slice your bananas lengthwise and place bananas in aluminum foil.

Finally, unwrap your bananas and add graham crackers. They're ready to serve! Total time to prepare and cook these is about 20 minutes.
