Banana Snack Bars
When this grand-guy is around I don’t have any extra-ripe bananas.
He gobbles them up and he is a little monkey, quietly climbing and getting into everything, pushing his cute Mom close to the edge!

I just adore being a grandma who gets to spoil ’em and I’m going to see Spence soon. With a few over-ripe bananas, (without a destiny), I whipped up a treat I know he will enjoy. It’s a snappy snack bar that will have him swinging…

This recipe looks delicious. I love peanut butter and bananas, I can only imagine how yummy this is.
Oh no…
This looks absolutely delicious.
Do you think that I can convince myself that it’s on the diet since it’s so full of good-for- you stuff? Bananas… peanut butter…
What I need is a cute grandchild like yours. Then, I can bake the yummy stuff and just nibble around the edges.
Oh yummy! I’m book marking this recipe so I can make it sometime soon! It sounds delish!
