Chango Bars. Never heard of them? Well, I’ll explain.
Chango bars are a spanish dessert that’s kind of a mix between cake and brownies, but the only chocolate in them are the chocolate chips. They are really easy to make and are also a lot of fun.
So now for where I got the recipe.
I was in second grade and it was reading. The recipe was talked about in a story and the real thing was in the back of the book. Yes, it came from a text book. Our class made the the batter and sent it to the kitchen to cook (this was before I homeschooled and could do all that myself). We were dying to try them all day. Then, just before recess, we finally got to bite into the sweet treat (notice it was right before recess - there were some people who would benefit from running off the sugar before the next subject). Everybody loved them. We were allowed to write down the recipe and I immediately did so. The next time I made them was at home and I tweaked the recipe. I continued to tweak it until I had found a wonderful combination of ingredients that is always a crowd pleaser.
Now for the recipe:
Chango Bars
1 cup butter 2 ⅓ cups flour
2 cups brown sugar 1 Tbs baking powder
½ cup applesauce 1 tsp salt
3 eggs 2 ½ cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 in glass baking pan. Melt butter. While this is melting, cream brown sugar, applesauce, and eggs, then add the butter. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir into wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
I really like this recipe and hope you do too!
