    Ingredients

    1 medium banana
    Bisquick baking mix
    1 egg
    Chopped salted peanuts

    Utensils

    Microwavable 8-inch square dish
    Dry measuring cups
    Rubber scraper
    Table knife or metal

    Waxed paper
    Potholders

    Directions

    1. Arrange 16 shortbread cookies (each about 1 1/2 inches square) to fit the
    bottom of the square dish.
    2. Measure out 1 cup of frosting from the vanilla ready-to-spread frosting.
    3. Put 1/2 cup of the frosting in the medium bowl. Save the remaining 1/2 cup
    to frost the top.
    4. Break 1 medium banana into pieces and add to the frosting in the bowl,
    mashing with a fork until smooth.

    of waxed paper farthest away from you, to let the steam out, then remove
    the waxed paper.
    8. Using potholders, remove the dish from the microwave. Cool the bars
    completely on the cooling rack.
