OMG! Congo Bars. My Great Grandma made these when I was a little girl. She died in 1974 so hey, that was a long time ago! She used to keep them in an old coffee can. My Mom makes them now and again but as good as a cook and baker my Mom is….they never seem, like Grandma Frances’. I always sort of thought it was a local receipe since before I was born they lived on Congo Avenue. Must have been just a coincidence! Thanks for the memory.
