  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bar.
  • For a gooey, chewy bar, use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  • If you like nuts, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.

  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
