Secrets of Success
- This is the exact recipe, with her spelling and quaintness, as given to me by Mrs. Dudley who lived across the street from us in Silver Spring. I never have known why these are called Congo Squares.
- The batter is pretty stiff, so after the brown sugar is melted into the margarine, I transfer to my electric mixing bowl. I do use only margarine in this recipe.
- Of course you can use different varieties of chips. You can also vary the color by using light or dark brown sugar.
