Banana Nut Bar with Cream Cheese Frosting

These have to be my 2nd favorite thing to eat that uses bananas, Banana Pudding Cheesecake and Traditional Banana Pudding being 1st and 2nd. Ok, my 3rd favorite thing.

 They're delicious eaten at room temp., but I actually like them even better chilled, 

right out of the fridge. Either way you want to enjoy them, you won't be disappointed.
