Congo Bars

Congo Bars

2 cups flour (for this I used 1 cup unbleached white and 1 cup white whole wheat)
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
5.4 oz butter (or 2/3 cup)
3 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (if desired...I skipped it this time)
2 tsp vanilla

Soften butter. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well blended. Spread mix in a rectangular baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Top will look golden and slightly cracked.

Slice while still warm but not hot. Serve cooled (but who can resist eating one while it's still gooey right?)
