These were great! I made them into cupcakes & added some chopped chocolate to the batter. I topped them with peanut butter buttercream and they were to die for. So moist & flavorful!

These are very good and I will make them again but next time I will add some chocolate chips. I was looking for something with a little more chocolate taste. I added nuts and was going to add chocolate chips but when I looked for them I was all out.

This is a great recipe! My husband is diabetic, so I made it with a half splenda/half sugar mix... and they turned out great! Light, fluffy and delicious!

These were very good. Moist. Flavorful. Not too sweet. The only change for me was adding an extra banana. Thanks for the great recipe.

Great way to use ripe bananas without going to the tried and true Banana Bread. I always like a marbled cake or cookie and this turned out great. I did find a recipe on Allrecipes called Chocolate Frosting I that I revised somewhat to frost the bars. The bars turned out great!

Simply Divine! I, too, like some other reviewers, added choc. chips to the banana batter. They were so yummy! My 4 year old son ate 10 in 2 days! Thank you for a great recipe!

Delicious cake. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8X8 for 25 min. I also used dutch processed cocoa that I mixed with a little bit of hot water to help it mix easier and to enhance the flavor. Will definitely make again

Really great recipe! I added choc chips to the light side as per suggestion, used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon in the mix. Yum!

Made the Cocoa Banana Bars without making any changes to the posted recipe. They are delicious. I may add a little more cocoa next time, but that is because I am a chocoholic.

Heavenly! A perfect blending of chocolate and banana. I agree about not changing a recipe, but I didn't have the exact ingredients needed; so I did have to improvise. I only had Hershey's Special Dark cocoa, so I added 1/4 cup sugar to my dark cocoa and batter. My 13 x 9 pan was in the dishwasher, so I made cupcakes instead and they baked for 25 minutes. The only reason they lasted 5 hours is because we weren't home to eat them!

Wow!!! This really is "the Best!" I followed the recipe with amazing results. The only minor problem I had was that the batter was slightly dry. I used two large bananas and I didn't really measure it out to 1 1/2 cups. Next time I would add 4 bananas to make it more moist. I had to add some milk to the cocoa mixture to thin it out, but otherwise it was fabulous.

I asked my Husband if he liked it, he said, "give this to noone and make more", I think that is a YES! The only thing I did different is use a smaller pan.

I make these all the time for Potluck...the only bad thing about them is keeping DH from devouring them all before-hand! I usually put the chocolate layer on top so I only have to use one bowl. I also sometimes add walnuts and/or chocolate chips. Yummy!
