This recipe is from the Lion House Lite Recipe Book and I have been making it for years! Whenever I have some bananas that need to be used up, I make these yummy bars! I almost always have all the other ingredients on hand. These bars are great with or without the frosting. Because I like a light layer of frosting, the recipe below seems to make a lot of frosting and I get to enjoy a few good frosted graham crackers after as well! If you choose to frost, make sure you allow the bars to cool completely before frosting or a pool of frosting can develop in the center of the bars. Otherwise a very simple and delicious treat!
