Classic Congo Bars

These Congo Bars—also called “blonde brownies” or blondies—are the ultimate chewy, caramel-flavored treat. By combining plenty of brown sugar with a mix of semi-sweet chunks and milk chocolate chips, you get a rich, toffee-like base that stays soft and gooey in the center, even after cooling.
