Steps:
- Preheat the grill for high heat.
- Spray 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap bananas, with cooking spray.
- Slice the peel of the banana from stem to bottom, while slicing the banana inside lengthwise. The bananas can be cut into slices instead if you like, (while still in the peel) for easier handling later.
- Carefully open the banana just wide enough to place the chocolate chips and marshmallows inside the peel with the banana. Stuff with as much of the chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
- Wrap the bananas with the aluminum foil and place on the grill or directly in the coals of a fire. Leave in long enough to melt the chips and the marshmallows, about 5 minutes. Unwrap bananas, open the peels wide, and eat with a spoon.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F or prepare a grill for medium indirect heat. For a gas grill (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For a charcoal grill, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Break the chocolate bar into squares. Lightly spray kitchen shears with cooking spray and cut the marshmallows in half crosswise.
- Use a paring knife to cut a slit down the center of 1 unpeeled banana lengthwise, being sure not to cut all the way through. Gently insert alternating pieces of half the chocolate and 4 marshmallow halves. Press the marshmallows into the banana as much as possible so they don't stick out too much. Wrap the banana in nonstick aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining banana, chocolate and 4 marshmallow halves.
- Bake or grill over indirect heat, covered, until gooey, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 1 minute before unwrapping and eating.
