What ARE Congo Bars Anyway??

I've mentioned these before on my blog. I don't know if they are a regional thing or just a family thing. ::grin:: However, I made these twice last week & remembered to grab my camera for some photos. So here is the recipe - enjoy - they are VERY yummy!!!!

2/3 cup oil (or shortening - I use oil)
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup chocolate bits
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix well together in a large bowl.



2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

Mix in a small bowl & then add to the wet mixture. Mix well.



Grease a 9x13 pan. Add mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. The lighter they are when they come out, the more gooey they will be.



Cut & enjoy!!!

    Congo bars really are a regional thing, I think. We used to get ALL EXCITED when they showed up on the SCHOOL LUNCH MENU!!!!

    Kristine - they are sort of like pan cookies, but better!!!!

    Thanks for sharing the recipe, Lisa...I'm adding it to my collection of "stuff I'll probably never get around to making", lol!

Oh thank goodness! I'm not here all alone. Thanks for leaving me a comment. It helps that I'm not always talking to myself. Right? Hello?
