Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
- Don't overcook the peanut butter mixture. It should be thick and bubbly, but not too stiff.
- Press the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan firmly and evenly. This will help to prevent it from cracking when you cut it into bars.
- Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
