Notes
- *I recommend using at least 2 of the “optional additions” to the recipe
- Resting time is important. Make sure to let cool before cutting or they may be slightly delicate and crumbly at first.
- These bars last 4-5 days at room temperature or a week in the fridge. They will harden in the fridge but will taste just as good!
