Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your bars. Look for good-quality chocolate, butter, and nuts.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are set but not dry: The bars should be slightly gooey in the center. An inserted toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cool the bars completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape. You can chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight, to make them easier to cut.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: The bars will keep for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
