Freddo Banana
Tin foil
Banana
Freddo frog (or any chocolate buttons – one with caramel works the best)
With the skin on, cut the banana almost in half lengthways but not all the way, you’re making a small slot for the chocolate to sit in.
Pop in the chocolate of your choice, caramel Freddos work really well.
Wrap in tinfoil until it’s all sealed and pop on the barbeque.
Leave for about 10 minutes depending on heat – you can do this once the ‘cooking heat’ of the bbq is spent too – until the banana has gone squidgy.
Carefully take off BBQ and unwrap.
The banana will be hot so be careful!!
Scoff with a spoon or for more fun scoop out the banana-y chocolatey goodness with a finger!
