One of my dearest, sweetest friends, (you know who you are, Susan!)
asked me to post this recipe for Frosted Banana Bars. Try them, you'll like them!

FROSTED BANANA BARS

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, bananas and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased 15 x 10 x1 baking pan (cookie sheet with lip). Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until bars test done. Cool. For frosting, cream butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat well. Spread over bars. Yield: 3 dozen.

NOTE: I used a 15x10x2 glass baking dish. It worked fine.
