Hot banana split!

I had a cheeky midnight snack the other night. And this was it -HOT peanut butter, dark chocolate & raisin banana split. It tastes even better than it looks! It was delicious! Really satisfying and great if you're having a sugary/chocolate craving! You can fill it with pretty much anything you want! And if it's something that melts, it makes it even more fun to eat, haha!

You'll need:
- a grill
- tin foil
- 1 banana
- your own choice of fillings
- about 10/15 minutes of your time

Method:
Preheat your grill (about 180 degrees). Lay a banana on some tin foil. Cut the banana down the middle. Fill the middle of the banana with all your favourite things. Then wrap up the banana in the tin foil. Put it in the grill for about 8-10 minutes, depending on how hot/messy you want it, I guess. Then take out, unwrap and enjoy!

I filled mine with 1 tbsp of reduced-fat peanut butter, a very small handful of dark chocolate drops and a very small handful of seedless raisins. If made with these I think the whole thing, including the banana, is approx. 335 kcal.

Other good things to fill it with could be marshmallows, white or milk chocolate drops, chocolate spread, nutella, your favourite chocolate bar, jam, granulated Splenda sweetener, toffee, fudge, dessert sauces (e.g. chocolate/strawberry/toffee), etc. etc.

***THIS IS NOT MY CREATION OR MY IDEA! This has probably been done a million times before by millions of different people. I even remember doing this, when I was about 11, over camp fire ashes with "Girl Guides".***
