BEST CHUNKY MONKEY BARS
These Best Chunky Monkey Bars are a full-flavored chewy dense bar. They have a brownie texture but are just as delicious as my homemade banana bread. Best Chunky Monkey Bars can be baked in under 40 minutes and are a wonderful dessert for lunch boxes. This is one of the best ways to use up those ripe bananas sitting on the counter.

MONKEY BARS -- BANANA BARS WITH BROWNED BUTTER FROSTING
I got this great recipe from a site called CaramelPotatoes.com. So yummy. The sour cream helps to keep these light, like cake, but the bananas make it super moist. This is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas. I put them in the freezer and just thaw them when I'm ready to bake. Works great!
