This is another one of those recipes that I have had in my recipe book since the 70's. I probably haven't made them since the early 90's that is until this weekend. I made them and took them to a baby shower. They were as good as I remembered.
Congo Squares
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Set aside.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine butter or margarine and brown sugar; cool slightly. Beat in eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to sugar mixture and mix well. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
3.Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. When almost cool, cut into 48 squares.

man those look yummy! we are snowed in once again and I thought I'd go and make those and I was out of only one ingredient--chocolate chips!! Ugh!
Those look deee-lish!!! Thanks!
What an unusual name? Did the original one come from Congo? I had a neighbour from Ghana, and she has lots of Ghanian food.
I've heard of them as "Congo Bars", but it doesn't matter what people call them - I call them delicious!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Me and the boys are going to make these...they look so yummy and perfect for a day stuck at home while it snows like crazy.
ps...I went to publish this and saw that Jennifer Rogers had the same idea...great minds think alike!
Yummy Yummy.
My mom used to make congo bars. They were good.
