Chocolate Chunk Banana Bars

I was supposed to Banana bread that certain day, but then I found out my loaf pans were gone. I just couldn’t find them. But, I had these very riped bananas so I had to do something with it. After a few researches, I decided to make these banana bars. Oh boy, these were so good! My whole family in our little compound love these so much.
