Banana Chocolate Chip Bars


This recipe comes from my mother-in-law, Marilyn. These Banana Chocolate Chip Bars are a personal favorite of my husband's. He just loves bananas. When I find a new dessert recipe with banana in it I'll make it just for him.
It is Marilyn's birthday today and I'm making these today in honor of her. She's off having a great time in Australia and so since she isn't with us today it's fun to make something that reminds us of her. Actually this is the first time I've ever made this recipe and have it turn out! I guess practice makes perfect. These are so yummy! You all should really try them out.
Banana Chocolate Chip Bars
Cream together:
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg

Then add:
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Stir in:

Spread into 9x13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.

Michelle,
I loved the new blog! I posted a comment this morning, but I think it might be floating in cyber-space somewhere, because I can't find it. I will definately be looking in daily and will use your yummy recipes, too. What a busy gal!
