These bars are always a hit at potlucks here in the small rural farming community where my husband and I live. I also like to provide them for coffee hour after church. They're so moist and delicious that wherever I take them, they don't last long. —Karen Dryak, Niobrara, Nebraska

Tasted great! I used a 9x13 pan due to the small size of my oven so the sweet icing was a little overpowering, but still good.

This makes a bigger batch than I thought. Not too sweet and great banana flavor.

I have been using this recipe since it came out in the magazine many, many years ago. I've taken it to church for the "after church social hour", and it quickly disappears. My husband loves it.

I made these banana bars a few months ago, and they were fantastic. I actually made banana bars a long time ago, but I lost the recipe, and so I was happy to find this one, because they tasted like the ones I used to make. I'm glad my brother was in town to help eat them up!

I almost made this recipe -- but when I saw "2 cups of sugar" stopped, because that didn't seem right. Sure enough, I went digging for my old paper copy from the magazine - and it was totally different! 1-1/2 cups sugar, plus 1 cup sour cream! I'm sticking with the tried & true.
