Congo Bars (sort of)

When I was a kid, there was one aunt who

used to make these delicious, super-sweet cookie bars.

She called them congo bars.

They were a kid's dream.

Tons of sugar, chocolate, just a chewy delight!

These are a somewhat healthier version of those bars.

They have no sugar, but are just sweet enough.

What I love about these, is that you put them in the oven

and forget about them for 20 minutes or so.

They get even better after refrigeration,

don't ask me why.

Easier than cookies, but just as scrumptious!
