My mother, Elaine, made these for us regularly for us in the 60's for after school treats. They are about 20 minutes from start to finish! The fun thing with this recipe you can add coconut, nuts, or butterscotch chips.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk and almond extract. The Conga Squares turned out great! My family loved them.

These Conga Squares are a great make-ahead dessert. I often make them the night before a party and they're always a hit.

I've tried many Conga Squares recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The cake is so moist and fluffy, and the frosting is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

These Conga Squares are so easy to make, I can even get my kids to help me. They love licking the spoon and sprinkling the coconut on top.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering at all.

These Conga Squares were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love that this recipe uses simple ingredients that I already had on hand. It's a great way to use up leftover cake mix.
