Notes
- To Freeze: Allow the bars to cool completely, then cut them into individual servings. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Label with the date and contents before placing in the freezer. Frozen bars can be stored for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
- Shelf Life: When stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature, these decadent bars can maintain their freshness for up to one week.
- Individual Desserts: Using individual mini dessert pans or cupcake tins is a perfect for creating single servings of these delicious bars. Simply layer the ingredients in each mini pan or cupcake tin, pressing down gently, and bake according to the recipe instructions. Keep an eye on the baking time, as smaller portions may require less time in the oven.
