  • Follow the recipe carefully: Viva puff squares are a relatively simple recipe, but it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure they turn out perfectly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: When making the dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing will make the dough tough and chewy.

  • Bake the squares until they are golden brown: The squares are done baking when they are golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
