Weekly Recipe - Dark Chocolate Banana S'mores

Since camping season is quickly coming to an end I thought I would offer up this delicious alternative to campfire s'more.  They are easy to make and delicious and best of all they still have the chocolate!  Plus, for you non campers out there (hi Mom!) you can do this in the safety of your kitchen! 

Dark Chocolate Banana S'mores (makes 6 servings)

Non stick cooking spray 

2 just - ripe bananas, peels on, halved lengthwise and stems trimmed

2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted

12 graham cracker squares

1 3 oz bar dark chocolate, broken into 6 square

1. Heat a grill or skillet to medium and mist with cooking spray.  Place bananas cut side down and heat until lightly marked, about 3-4 minutes.  Flip bananas and brush tops with the melted butter.  Grill cut side up 3 more minutes.  Transfer bananas to a plate, remove peels, and cut into 1/2 inch slices

2. While bananas are grilling, top each graham cracker square with a square of dark chocolate .  Arrange 4 to 5 banana slices on top of each chocolate square and cover with remaining graham crackers.

3. Grill or cook for 1 more minute until chocolate is melted
