Banana Split Cake Bars
Tammy
"I got this recipe form my mother-in-law. Bananas, crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries are all baked into a cake. A light, buttery frosting is applied, and the cake is cut into bars for snacking."

The recipe took longer to cook about 45-50 min & was not good! Too sweet & doughy. Very disappointed.

These are terrific! I only made the cake and we ate it without frosting and they didn't need it. I did double the cherries and next time i'm going to add 1 cup of chocolate chips.
