Chocolate Chip Banana Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish, lined with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until smooth, about three minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix flour and salt in a small bowl. Add to wet ingredients and beat together until combined. Mash 2 1/2 bananas and set the remaining one half of the banana aside. Fold bananas into the mixture until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips, saving a handful to sprinkle on top of the batter. Pour banana mix into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top, and bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Flip onto a cooling rack. To make the frosting, beat butter until smooth. Add in powdered sugar, caramel, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth, about three-five minutes. Slice squares and pipe frosting onto cool squares, topping with mini chocolate chips. Enjoy!
