These were great. The banana chips soften only slightly and so they gave a great little crunch. I found that they never really firmed up to my liking though. I even put them back in the oven to try and dry them out a bit. I didn't use the baking paper though as I don't have any. I tried to butter and flour the tin instead. This may have contributed to the "moistness" of the bars. The flavour over all is well worth it though. Plus, the instructions were very easy to follow. I look forward to trying this recipe again. Thanks Sylvie!
