My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed these moist banana chocolate chip cookie bars. Especially since my husband enjoys bananas and I enjoy chocolate. I hope you enjoy them too! Since I prepared this recipe twice, I used two different brands of chocolate chips. Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip, as well as Kroger's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips. I'm including photos of both brands of chocolate chips.
