Trail Recipe: Caramelized Banana Nilla Wafer Bowl

Caramelized Banana Nilla Wafer Bowl by MONTyBOCA

Don’t forget about dessert! For me on most nights, a nugget of chocolate or a piece of a candy bar will do to get me ready to burrow in my tent for a nice rest before the next day.

But sometimes, something a little different is the ticket. This fast dessert recipe really hits the spot and only packs in at a few ounces. The other great thing is it uses ingredients you’re most likely already bringing (bananas and mixed nuts).

Elevate your evening on your next trip!
