Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
- Make sure the butter is cold before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from spreading too much.
- Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should come out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
These After-School Chocolate Crunch Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust, gooey chocolate filling, and crunchy topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these bars a try!
