Steps:
- Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, process cookies until crumbs form. Add butter; pulse until mixture holds together when squeezed. Prepare crust as directed below. Bake until crust is firm and dry to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Make the filling: In a clean food processor, process cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, peanut butter, and salt until smooth and light, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
- Peel bananas; halve lengthwise. Spread half the cream-cheese mixture over crust; top with a snug layer of bananas. Cover with remaining cream-cheese mixture, smoothing top. Sprinkle with peanuts; cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.
- To remove, wipe outsides of pan with a hot towel; run a knife around inside edge (between paper and pan). Gently pull on paper to lift out of pan. Cut into 12 rectangles.
- Make the crust:Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line it with 2 crisscrossed rectangles of parchment paper.Press crust firmly into bottom and slightly up sides. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or small bowl to help pat crumbs in evenly.

[email protected]These bars were so easy to make and they turned out delicious! I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for and they were still plenty sweet. I also added a few chocolate chips to the batter and they were a nice addition.
