CONGO SQUARES



Congo Squares image

This recipe was given to me nearly 50 years ago, at a company picnic, and it's our family's favorite dessert. Now my grandchildren bake it for their families. When each of our three sons got serious about a girl, sure enough, I'd get a call from a young lady requesting "his favorite dish". I always gave the girls this recipe.

CONGO SQUARES

This recipe is mixed on top the stove, all in one pan and baked. I try to cut down on the amount of sugar in most of my recipes so for this one: I use 2 cups of brown sugar, the recipe calls for 2 1/4 cups. I also decrease the flour by 2 tablespoons and salt by 1/4 teaspoon.
