Cream Cheese, Banana, Caramel, & Chocolate, Dessert Bars






                                                                              


This is an AWESOME way to use up 2 very ripe bananas! Gooey with caramel & chocolate layered in a fluffy cake that has a crisp crusty top. The banana flavor is just right for this combination of flavors! I ate my square warm & it was HEAVENLY! I really recommend using the chocolate melting squares but even so chocolate chips would be good! Have a banana dessert you will be glad you did!

3 Cups Flour
1 TSP Baking Soda
1 TSP Salt
1 Cup Sugar
8 OZ Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Shortening
2 Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla
2 RIPE Bananas
1 Cup Melting Chocolate Wafers or Chocolate Chips
2/3 Cup Caramel Topping
Cream Shortening & cream cheese together. Add sugar & beat. Add eggs & beat. Add vanilla & beat again. Add the bananas & beat, batter will be lumpy & that is a good thing! Sift flour, baking soda & salt together, now beat this into your batter. Beat well. Spray a 9x13 pan. Spoon 2/3 of the batter into your prepared pan. Spread out somewhat evenly. Now spread the chocolate wafers or chips over the batter & spoon the caramel over the chocolate. Over this layer dollop the remain batter & spread out somewhat evenly. Some chocolate & caramel will peek through & that is what you want! Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Check with a knife it comes out with batter that is wet return & bake for a few minutes longer. Mine to 38 minutes total. If the knife comes out with chocolate & caramel that is perfect but no wet batter. Let cool & cut into bars!DIG IN!
