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

I'm not a big fan of banana desserts, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate crust is divine.

These bars are amazing! They're the perfect combination of sweet and salty, and the crust is so buttery and flaky.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love the combination of chocolate and banana in these bars. They're so rich and decadent, but not too heavy.
