Congo Bars

Congo Bars.  Really just a fancy name for a chocolate chop cookie bar.  I tried to find out why they are called Congo Bars instead of blondies, or cookie bars, but alas, I found no definitive answer.  I did find this over on congocookbook.com though: Congo Bars or Congo Squares are a popular dessert in… Continue reading Congo Bars

Butterfinger Blondies

They are the reason I cannot give up sugar.  Ever. And oh, those little mini… Continue reading Easter Egg Brownies

Lunch Lady Brownies

Remember how great the school cafeteria food was when you were a kid?  I remember begging, begging my parents to let me buy lunch.  They were almost always like “No! You aren’t eating that crap!” but every once in a while their resistance would fade and in the face of their pleading 8 year old,… Continue reading Lunch Lady Brownies
