4 banana leaves or aluminum foil, cut to 10 inches square
4 bananas, halved crosswise
4 oz. dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
1/4 cup dark rum
1 tablespoon safflower oil (if using a grill pan)
Whipped cream, to serve

Steps:

Put the banana leaves on a work surface. On the first leaf, put 2 banana halves side by side. Sprinkle with one-quarter of the chocolate and 1 tablepoon rum. Fold up the sides and edges to form a square package. Tie with the wet twine or raffia (soaking will prevent the twine from burning). Repeat to make 4 packages. Put the packages on a preheated grill or oiled, smoking-hot stove-top grill pan and cook for about 10 minutes on each side. Snip the twine and serve with whipped cream.
