Tips:

Use a large bowl: The mixture will expand as it cooks, so it's important to use a large bowl to prevent it from overflowing.
Don't overcook the mixture: Overcooking will make the treats hard and chewy. Cook the mixture just until it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Let the treats cool completely: The treats will be very hot when they come out of the oven, so it's important to let them cool completely before cutting them into bars.
Use a sharp knife to cut the treats: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts.
Store the treats in an airtight container: The treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
