Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: To obtain the finest flavor and texture, make sure all ingredients are fresh, especially the graham crackers, butter, cream cheese, and chocolate chips.

Pay attention to the baking time: Different ovens may have different heating characteristics, so keep an eye on the baking bars and adjust the cooking time as needed. Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly bars.

Chill the bars before serving: This helps the bars set properly and enhances their flavor and texture. Chilling also makes them easier to cut into clean, neat squares.

Decorate as desired: To add a personal touch and make the bars more visually appealing, consider garnishing them with additional chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup before serving.

Store leftovers properly: Keep any leftover yum yum squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months; thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
