A recipe for you to share and enjoy!

Imagine yourself in the courtyard, standing in the warm summer sun, just about to grab a drink of water from the water fountain, when you catch a whiff of a sweet, delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. The kitchen's screen door opens and closes, letting out just enough air for you to smell it again... 

We're having Congo Bars for dessert tonight!

You smile in anticipation, running off to share the exciting news with the rest of your cabin.

Now, while we won't be able to recreate this moment until next summer, we can help you create it in your home this weekend! Here is the recipe for the camp-favourite dessert: Congo Bars.
