Congo bars have been around forever, and I’ve seen lots of different versions. This one, however, is the one I always make – it’s the BEST!
These are one of the easiest bars you can make. They come together in just a few minutes and take less than 20 minutes to bake. They are sweet and salty, thick and chewy, and downright delicious.
Congo Bars are always a crowd pleaser – I guess that’s why they’ve been around for so many years! If you don’t do peanuts you can certainly swap them out for another nut. And you don’t have to add 3 different kinds of chocolate if you don’t want to. I just love the variety of flavor they add! What I love about these bars is they are so easy to customize. You can add pretty much anything that suits your fancy 🙂
Try these congo bars warm with a scoop of ice cream!

I have never heard of Congo Bars but I am already a fan. It reminds me of a lazy man’s cookie. Instead of balling them you can just put all the dough together and done! I love it.
