1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

Source Taste and Tell
The bottom is like a banana brownie with chopped peanuts baked inside. The top is ooey-gooey with melted marshmallows, chocolate chips and cherries on top.
The kids really liked Banana Split Bars and gave them 4 stars. I thought they were OK and gave them 3 stars. My husband didn't like these at all, which I thought was funny because he does like banana splits. I guess you could say it was a "split" decision on these bars. haha! They still get a spot on the family favorites list because the kids want me to make these again.
Before I "make like a banana.........................and split," I want to ask one favor. If you make Banana Split Bars, I'd love to know what you think. Leave a comment and tell me what you decide. Thank you!
I share recipes at these linky parties.
