Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).

GRILLED BANANAS

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Slice the bananas, in their skins, in half crosswise and then lengthwise so each banana yields 4 pieces. Set aside on a clean platter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the honey on the cut sides of the bananas and sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar. Let the bananas sit for 5 minutes.
• Place the bananas, cut side down, on the center of grill. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Using a pair of tongs, turn them over and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the skin pulls away from the bananas. Remove the bananas from the grill and serve them immediately, on top of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with bourbon or liqueur, if desired.

BBQ BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut 4 large rectangles of baking foil, peel the bananas (keeping them whole) and lay one on each piece of foil. Stab them carefully in several places with a small toothpick.
• Mix together rum, sugar, orange juice and cinnamon, add to each parcel and place 1/4 of the butter on top of the banana in each parcel.
• Carefully join up the long sides of the foil over the banana and fold over several times to seal, then fold up the short ends of the foil so that the liquid can not escape during cooking.
• Place the parcels on the BBQ and grill for 15 minutes, turning them over once after 7 minutes.
• Open the parcels carefully and transfer to serving dishes, pour over liquid that is left in the foil, decorate with orange slices and serve with whipped cream or icecream.

BBQ RUM & CARAMEL BANANAS

Steps:

• Mix the butter with the sugar and treacle, then add the rum. Make a split through the inside curve of each banana skin - be careful not to cut all the way through. Spread a spoonful of the spiced butter inside each skin.
• Place the bananas, curved-side up - so the butter doesn't leak when it melts - onto individual sheets of foil large enough to wrap them completely. Crimp up the foil to make a parcel, then put onto the embers for 15 mins, turning once. The bananas should be sticky and caramelised, but check one and cook for longer if necessary. Serve with a scoop of ice cream.
