Notes

These bars can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. Dusting with powdered sugar adds a nice touch. For storage, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze wrapped well and thaw before serving.
