Chop bacon into ½ inch pieces and fry slowly over medium-heat, rendering out all fat. Once crispy, drain off excess grease with paper towels and set the bacon aside.
In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter together until mixture is light and fluffy.
Mash the bananas with a fork, then blend them with eggs, milk, and melted chocolate; fold this into the sugar and butter mixture.
