This healthier spin on s’mores delivers all the nostalgic campfire flavor with less mess and more portion control.
Warm bananas become soft and caramelized while melted dark chocolate and crunchy graham cracker crumbs create the perfect finishing touch. Bananas provide potassium and fiber, while dark chocolate offers a richer flavor that allows you to use less. Individual foil packets also make serving simple for backyard gatherings.
