Last week, I wrote about Andreea's fabulous grilled chocolate-stuffed bananas. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet (I spent all my weekend dessert energy on a batch of oatmeal pecan chocolate chip cookies) but Flickr user/blogger Another Pint Please... (aka Mike), the most prolific griller in the Slashfood Flickr pool, saw the post and took on the challenge of grilling up some chocolate-stuffed bananas.
Judging from Mike's results, it looks like this recipe/technique is a true winner. He served his with a side of vanilla ice cream and says that it was very much like an inside out banana split. He's got plans for fancying it up the next time around, using better chocolate and topping it with a sprinkle of toasted nuts. The picture above is the before shot, click here to see the banana after it's been on the grill for a while.
Anyone else try these out yet?

Oh, I tried this, on my Lodge indoor cast iron grill. It caused my smoke alarm to go off, but it was good! I used a little brown sugar as well (which is what caused the smoke when it dribbled onto the grill)

Tried em a few night again after being inspired by the first post. Uniquely interesting treat due to how to prepare the actual dessert, but as for taste, my roommate commented that it was tasty because there was melted chocolate in it.
Used Baker's chocolate and Nestle Toll House. Ice cream would have made a nice addition, but wasn't sure how best to add it to the dish. Ideally, a way to serve with the ice cream inside without melting... hmmm..

We used to make these in the campfire on camping trips when I was a little kid in Girl Scouts! I think they were wrapped in tinfoil since we were cooking them in the coals. Yum!

Haven't tried it yet, but I surely will! So very tempting to do it right now in the middle of the night.
