My dad loves Congo Bars-his mother used to make them. He insists that I use Crisco instead of butter because he likes them to get hard so he can dunk them. I've tried to sneak butter in instead but he knows the difference. I thought my family was the only one who still had these in rotation-thanks for sharing.
I’ve never made them with Crisco, but dunking them (in coffee? Milk maybe?) does sound good. I’ve only met one other person who makes these - glad to meet another!
LOVE that vintage ad!
It’s a good one! It’s fun to dig deep online and come out with a gem like that one.
