Banana Boats - Yum, Yum!

Are you looking for a quick and easy dessert?

Try Banana Boats – they are great and you don’t have to be sailing on the water.

When you think about desserts while camping, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Usually it’s just cookies. Other types of desserts could be cake, pie or ice cream. The problem with these types of desserts is that ice cream could melt, the cake or pie could get destroyed on the trip to the desert. Or you could always bake dessert while you are camping, but only if you are lucky enough to have an oven.
