Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make this recipe and wrap the bars individually the day before the event.
  • tip 2
    Chocolate lovers can stir in 1 cup chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolate candies before pressing in the pan. Or, go nuts! Stir in 1/2 cup chopped peanuts instead.
