About

Bananas and chocolate are a personal favorite, and combining my best banana bread recipe with my favorite brownie recipe might have been a stroke of genius. Or, just the opposite: This is so obvious, why didn’t I do this years ago? These bars take a little longer to put together since there are two separate bases, but I promise it’s worth your time.
