Description

These bars are always a hit at potlucks here in the small rural farming community where my husband and I live. I also like to provide them for coffee hour after church. Theyre so moist and delicious that wherever I take them, they dont last long. —Karen Dryak, Niobrara, Nebraska

taste real good but the frosting just a little runny

These are really easy and so delicious. I only had a half sheet pan. They were thinner than usual but still turned out great. Highly recommended!

These bars are so good! I had bananas to use up and my family loved these!

My teenage boys gave this amazing dessert five stars! Even though I made it into a cake since I did not have a 15x10 pan. Took an extra 15 min baking time but well worth the wait. The frosting mirrors our local bakerys delicious frosting and now I cam make this at home. The boys said they will avoid eating the bananas so I can make this again. Thank you for sharing.

Outstanding! This is so easy and is a hit at every gathering. My college age son begs me to bring to share with his housemates every time I visit.

Just made these today. Had to use two 8x8 square baking pans, baked for 24 minutes. Turned out beautifully. Think I will cut the frosting recipe in half, to save on calories and sweetness next time. Gets two thumbs up on deliciousness!

I have been looking for this recipe. These classic old fashioned bars are so good & always a crowd pleaser.

In my view, bars are denser than cake. I should have realized that with three eggs, this recipe was going to be more cakey than bar-like. It tastes good, but its not what I expected or wanted.

I made these this weekend 4/2016, and they are delicious. I didnt change anything about the recipe and didnt need to. They would be good with walnuts in them or sprinkled on top of the icing.

Ive been making this recipe for years and EVERYONE loves it. I have shared the recipe tons of times.
