Chewy Congo Bars

Another tasty family recipe comin’ at ya today. And if you like brownies, you’re sure to love this blondie version, aka, Congo Bars!

Now, I’m not really sure why they’re called Congo Bars. I think I read somewhere the ingredients are inspired by an exotic location in Africa. Another thing said something about Vegas. I’m really not too sure. The only thing I know is that my mom used to make these a lot when I was younger, and today, I’m putting my own spin on it!
