Frosted Banana Bars

Everyone loves a good treat, especially when you can use up some getting old, blackish bananas in the process! These Banana Bars are seriously to die for good- I may never make banana bread with my black bananas ever again! Try them out, you may convert yourself.

frosting, recipe below

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10x15 jelly roll pan. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream, and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; stir into the batter. Finally, mix in the ripe bananas. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick instered in the center comes out clean. Allow bars to cool completely before frosting.
