Week #12 of Kendra's Cooking Challenge: Banana Chip Bars

I really wanted to make these since I saw it on my cousin's blog The Fig Lives.  I guess these are a specialty of my Aunt Ingrid... however, I can never remember trying them before.  Anyways, I found the recipe in the family recipe book she made me and got right to work making these delicious little things!  YUM!
