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

These bars are great! They are so moist, and are a great alternative to making banana muffins all the time. My whole family loved them.

These are absolutely the best!! I make them often for my husband -- he devours them. Thank you for recipe. OMGoodness, cocoadawn, so very sorry to hear about your home. We had experience with fire destroying our home in 1980.

These are fabulous! A great alternative to banana bread. I have made these for years from the magazine as well.

Finally! I have been looking for this recipes for nine years! I originally had it on a recipe card from Taste of Home mag, and made it at least once a month, to perfect results every time. When a fire destroyed our home in 2000, I lost the recipe. I am SOOOO happy to find it again!

Easy to make with ingredients on hand! Moist and delicious! I don't know how much better they are the second day because in our house they didn't last that long and there are only three of us! Thank you for the recipe, it's going to become a favorite - Maggie

Re: Black-Bottom Banana BarsI cut this recipe from one of the TOH magazines years ago. Made it several times, it became a favorite to eat and make until I lost the recipe... and found it again on-line. What a relief to see it come up after a whimsical idea to search. Thank you. This is our old stand-by recipe for the aged banana.
