Congo Bars

I am now the official cook of the girls varsity soccer team. I made congo bars this week, which are basically like blondies but 20x more delicious. Since there's always a struggle to figure out what to do with leftovers whenever I bake something, I decided to send these lovelies to my sisters soccer game with her.

I wanted to make something like brownies, but not brownies, so when I saw this recipe on Culinary Couture I jumped on it. Anything with chocolate in it I love, I am a big big BIG chocolate girl, there is seriously nothing better.

The entire soccer team loved them so much that I now have requests to make something for the next game! Which makes things a lot easier for me because I don't have to feel bad when I have to throw out the leftovers!

The fabulous thing about this recipe is congo bars are not as bready as blondies so they are chewy, delicious, and chocolatey! Did I mention that I absolutely love chocolate? I highly recommend you make these.
