I made these last night for my kids and they were awesome!! Only half of a pan left!!
And how much should i mix it?
I made this and it did not get like brownies, it was firm like cake. Any ideas why? I followed the recipe.
The only thing that I can think is that they were overcooked or overmixed?? Sorry they didn’t turn out! I hate when that happens. They were amazing!
Thank you for your reply!! What does over mixing do?
Over mixing can cause it to be more smooth, cake-like kind of how you described. It should be hand mixed until it is just combined. If you live in Utah I would love to make you a batch. ๐
I have made an almost identical recipe called “Congo Bars” that uses butterscotch chips in place of the chocolate.
I have seen ‘congo’ bars everywhere. But I guess his family calls them Bongo Bars! ๐ Those sound delicious with butterscotch chips!
Do you use self-rising flour?
All purpose flour. ๐
Good grief Alyssa! These look incredible!
Those look amazing! The funny thing…I make a very similar recipe and it is called Congo Bars ๐
You know whats funny? When he told me they were Bongo Bars I asked him if he meant Congo bars! I guess his family calls them Bongo Bars! ๐
