Notes

  • If you prefer a gooey center, slightly underbake the bars.
  • Feel free to customize the mix-ins with your favorite chips.
  • For a different texture, crunchy peanut butter can be used instead of creamy.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
