Banana Chocolate Chip Bars
Please note that this recipe is from the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook ... and it's very yummy!
And yes, Maman, I would love an oven thermometer. My basic solution was to turn the oven down and bake it for about 40 minutes instead of 25. Of course, I would prefer to bake it at the correct temperature ...
