Absolutely wonderful recipe. I did tweek it a bit. When I divided the batter in half, I added 3/4 c chocolate chips to the white batter, and 3/4 creamy peanut butter to the chocolate batter. Everyone who tasted them raved about them. This is definately a keeper!!

This is a good recipe. The texture was good; it's not too sweet. I added 1/2 cup of pecans to the banana layer. To the chocolate layer, I added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Also, I added 1 tsp instant coffee to the baking cocoa, then made a thin paste by adding 2-3 Tbs boiling water. Then I added this to the batter. I did top the bars with a cream cheese glaze.

These were very moist and super easy to make! It only took me about ten minutes to put together, which is a real plus when you're rushed for time! I took some advice from the other reviewer and added some "white" chocolate chips to the chocolate mix - a real nice touch! The bananas give it such a wonderful taste - I served them to friends who came by for a quick get together and everyone thought that they were a definite "5"!! These are great - you really have to try them - moist, easy and delicious! Next time I'm going to try and add some roasted pecans to the chocolate half - yet another variation. Thank-you for posting this recipe - a definite winner in my books!!
