Notes

These bars can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. To keep fresh, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. For best results, make sure your butter is fully melted before mixing, and press the crust mixture firmly into the baking dish. Consider adding crushed nuts or mini marshmallows for texture, or use dark chocolate for a richer taste.
