Tips:
- To make the perfect Sun Bars, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh butter, eggs, and chocolate chips. You can also use a variety of nuts, dried fruits, and spices to customize the flavor of your bars.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the bars lighter and more tender.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
