Dessert, Banana Foster, Wendy Denny #1

Make these for two or make them for a hungry army.

1 9 x 11		Uncovered foil pan.
10		Bananas, Peeled, Sliced Lengthwise
1 Can, Large		Crushed Pineapple in juice, don't drain
1 12 Ozs.		Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, NESTLE Brand
1 12 Ozs.		Carmel Chips, almost all
1 Pint or so		Strawberries, Cut Up
1 Jar or so		Maraschino Cherries
1 Pkg. Small		Marshmallows
1 Cup or so		Nuts, ChoppedWalnut/Pecan or whatever you want

Put the bananas in the bottom of the pan. They can be slightly layered since they cook down a bit. Layer the other ingredients to cover the bananas. The order probably doesn't matter much as long as you end with the marshmallows. Throw a few choc. chips around the marshmallow for color.

I cooked these on a small BGE at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Fold up the corners of the pan if it doesn't quite fit in the grill. Check to make sure chocolate chips are melting. We bumped up the temp right at the end to brown the marshmallows a bit. Watch closely, though, so they don't burn or get too crisp. Don't try to skimp by using cheap paper plates for serving this. Bowls are better. Big Bowls!

This dessert is a very special dessert. A Cub Scout leader/friend and mom of two

boys shared her recipe for individual banana boats. She taught her den to make

them in foil on the open fire at camp outs, and you can guess where everyone

congregated when the boys pulled them off the fire. Rosana died, courageously,

three years ago from a very aggressive breast cancer. She would have loved to

know that we were enjoying this dessert on a larger scale. For Rosana (and for all of
