Equipment
bowl
frying pan
sauce pan
oven
aluminum foil
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray cooking spray on bottom only of an 8 inch metal pan. Gloria noted that for the fair, she used non-stick foil to line the pan.
Mix flour, cocoa, and salt together and set aside.
Combine sugar, eggs, and banana in a separate bowl-stir until combined. I did this with a fork.Melt butter in a saucepan over medium low heat, then reduce heat to low and add 5 oz and 1 oz of chocolates. Cook and stir over low until smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
Add chocolate to sugar egg/banana mixture-stir until combined.Stir in dry ingredients until just combined.Fold in that last 1/2 cup chips and nuts (and Oreos, if using).
Bake 35-40 min, check at 35 (Anna’s note: I baked a full 45 min)Cool completely before cutting. Anna’s note: I like to chill before cutting
