Congo Bars Recipe

I spent a rainy, cool summer afternoon watching one of my favorite shows (on dvd) Last of the Summer Wine and having a Congo Bar made from my grandmother's recipe with a nice hot mug of coffee.  An easy, quick recipe to make and enjoy.

Congo Bars

2  1/4 cups flour

2  1/2 tsps baking powder

1/2  tsp salt

2/3 cup melted butter

2  1/2 cups brown sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 pkg chocolate chips

Set oven to 350*.  Melt butter and add brown sugar.  Add 1 egg at a time and beat well.  Add vanilla and dry ingredients.  Stir in chips.  Pour into large cookie sheet and bake 20 minutes.  Let cool and cut into squares.  

I used a 9 X 13 inch pan and baked for 40 minutes as they were much thicker.
