I tried these bars and they were a hit. I spent $2.78 for a 7 oz. jar of marshmallow creme to save three overripe bananas. Makes sense, Huh? Or perhaps I should say it doesn't make $cents. I will have to cut the recipe in half for the motorhome...or ask a neighbor with a full oven for a pan and the use of her oven for 30 minutes.

Marshmallow/Banana Bars

1 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 t. baking soda, dissolved in 1 T. water 1 t. vanilla 1 1/3 c. mashed
bananas
1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow creme
Vanilla Icing (recipe below)

Sift together dry ingredients. Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg; beat
well. Stir in soda mixture and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately
with bananas, beating well after each addition. Spread into a greased
15x11" jelly roll pan Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from
oven. Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow creme on bars. Let stand two
minutes. Spread gently over surface of cake. Cool; frost with vanilla
icing.

Icing
Combine 2 c. sifted confectioners sugar, 1 T. butter, 2 T. milk, 1 t.
vanilla and a few drops yellow food coloring. Blend until smooth.
