Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Sometimes the best things to eat are the most simple to make. We can find a dessert that has a ton of ingredients and you have to have special equipment or a candy thermometer or a double boiler or a special pan. Or you have to preheat the oven or roll something into a shape or whatever. Sometimes it's great just to find a dessert that's two ingredients, you slap them together, and then you eat them 15 minutes later.
Take this recipe. It's for Chocolate-Stuffed Bananas, and it's pretty damn easy.
Chocolate-Stuffed Bananas
4 bananas
4 oz semisweet chocolate, cut into 8 pieces
Set oven to 450 degrees. Peel and split the bananas lengthwise (not all the way through). Tuck chocolate into each banana. Wrap them together in a sheet of foil. Bake until chocolate is melted, around 15 minutes.
I haven't tried this yet, but I'm curious as to how long you really have to heat these. Do you really have to put it in there for 15 minutes? Wouldn't that cook the banana a little bit too much? I'm curious to see how these would be if the bananas aren't cooked for 15 minutes and the chocolate isn't throughly melted, just soft and still slightly chunky. And when I try it, I'm going to also try milk chocolate or two of the bananas and compare.

Take the banana, peel one side, scoop out and eat about 1/4 of the banana, then stuff it with chocoalte chips and mini marshmallows. Fold up the peel, wrap in foil and put in the campfire coals for 10-15 minutes, until chocolate and marshmallows are melted. Thanks for the memory!
