Frosted Banana Bars

Absolutely the best dessert evah!!!!!

I saw this on an internet group I belonged to 10 years ago.  I have been making it since then.  Recently, I saw this on the Taste of Home's site, too.  This is a very rich and delicious dessert.  It is always a hit wherever I take it.

Frosting

Now, a Lucy habit -- this is where she absolutely loves to sleep at night - my computer chair!!!!  In fact, if I get out of it to get something in the evening - I have to place something large on it or she will hop up there and not give up her spot!!  The only way I can get her to get off is if we go "mouse hunting".  But, that's for another day!!
