Notes
Depending on your oven, the congo bars may take longer to cook! But 40 minutes is perfect for my oven.
Helpful tips
- Take butter out at least a half hour before starting the recipe
- I use a 9 x 9 pan because I like thicker bars. But you can use a 13 x 9 pan if you like flatter congo bars.
- I use bittersweet chocolate chips but these are yummy with milk chocolate chips as well.
