Congo Bars

Congo Bars! It’s so funny, as a mom, you make a lot of different recipes and love some and not so much the others. There are always a few that you keep going back to and know your family will love them!

Congo bars are one of mine! I started making these when I was first married and would make them all the time but it’s been a while.

My daughter has been begging me to make cookies for weeks and I just haven’t had the time since we have been getting our house ready to sell. Last night, I broke down and made a delicious pan of Congo bars! When I’m feeling a little lazy and I don’t want the mess of regular cookies, I turn to the good old bar cookie recipes!

They are so easy to make and your mouth will be so happy! I love the crispy edges but the middle is so chewy and perfect too! Can you imagine these with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream? Heaven!!!
