Tips:

  • For the best results, use creamy peanut butter. Chunky peanut butter can make the bars too thick and crumbly.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use an 8x12 inch pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Don't over-bake the bars. They should be set in the center, but still slightly soft. If you over-bake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
