Hi Debster! Delicious bars. Used 1/2 C sugar and 4 ripe bananas. Also 1 tsp banana extract because DH likes things with intense banana flavor. Then sprinkled walnuts over about 2/3 of them before cooking (some can't eat nuts). didn't swirl just baked. What a treat! Will make these many times Thanks Judy in WA

Very good "cake" bar. Added more bananas- about 2 cups of very ripe mashed bananas. Also took hint of adding some chocolate chips to top of bottom layer. Very easy recipe. My baking powder was outdated and forgot to swirl, but came out moist and tasty. thanks don't overbake

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!!
