It’s that time of year when you are going to reunions and family get-togethers. Of course they always involve a lot of food. If you are like me, you want something delicious to take but easy to make. Here is a yummy bar cookie that fits the bill. I don’t know why they are called Congo Bongo Bars; that is what I’ve called them since I was little. Here is the recipe:
Congo Bongo Bars
Melt 2/3 cup butter. * You could also use 2/3 cup Butter Powder mixed with 2/3 cup water.* Add 2 c. Brown Sugar and let sit for 10 minutes.
