These were just delicious! I made these today, and they were a big hit. I am always looking for new and delicious recipes to use up ripe bananas, and this one is one of them! I just love the texture and the taste of these bars. Made exactly as directed and drizzled them with glaze. Easy to put together with an outstanding taste, this is a winner!... thanks for posting...Kittencal:)
