Common Questions
- → Why should I wait before slicing them?
Letting them warm up a bit keeps the chocolate from snapping when you cut.
- → What's the best way to keep them fresh?
Pop them in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for a week. Freeze them if you want—they’ll last up to three months.
- → Can I make these with chunky peanut butter?
Totally! Chunky gives a fun crunch at the bottom. Keep the creamy peanut butter for the chocolate part.
- → Tips for smooth cuts?
Use a sharp knife and clean it after each cut. Also, let the bars warm up a little first.
- → What can I sprinkle on top?
Go for a pinch of flaky salt or toss on some crushed peanuts before the chocolate sets.
