Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 1 month.
  • Customization: Feel free to experiment with different add-ins like white chocolate chips, peanut butter, or caramel for a unique twist on the recipe.
  • Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix until just combined to prevent the bars from becoming too dense.
