These bars stay very moist, and their rich banana and chocolate flavor is even better the second day. My mother-in-law gave me this recipe, and it's a big favorite with both my husband and two sons.—Rene Wright, Ferryville, Wisconsin

Sorry meant to say "Thin"
These bars were so moist and delicious. I thought they needed a little something on top . Soooo.... I made a chocolate glaze using powdered sugar, cocoa and milk, just eyeballed it. Made a tin glaze. Poured over top and spread over top. DELICIOUS!

Looking at reviews before making this recipe, I added chocolate chips and 3 T mayo to the chocolate portion of this bread. I baked it in an 8 x 8 pan--and it took 45 minutes to bake. My husband loved it (he is a chocolate freak). Next time I might just make the whole batter chocolate and add a nice icing.

Wanted to try something new instead of banana bread. These bars came out really tasty. I also added walnuts and chocolate chips.

One of the best banana recipes I have tried! My entire family loves it. I added chocolate chips to the bottom layer. I also made it in a 8x8 pan to make the bars thicker. They came out great!

This recipe is the best yet for us, even my pickiest liked it! The chocolate really makes it. Will make it again and yes it does stay moist. I will try to substitute the butter next time though as I'm being strict with my diet. Oh I used 2/3 c. sugar.. still fine. A keeper-thanks!

I really like these bars! They're moist and delicious; a nice change from typical banana bread when I'm trying to use up over-ripe bananas.
