I have been making these treats for many years. I no longer remember where the recipe came from, but one thing is certain - the bars are always a hit at family get-togethers and parties. The secret to tasty banana desserts is the ripeness of the bananas - the riper, the better.

These bars are a great way to use up overripe bananas. I always have a bunch of them lying around.

I found the glaze to be a bit too sweet. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

The texture of the bars was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try adjusting the baking time next time.
