What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid using chunky peanut butter as it will not provide the right consistency for the bars. Make sure to refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to allow them to set properly. Be careful not to overheat the peanut butter mixture, as it can burn easily and affect the taste of the bars. Lastly, do not skip the step of lining the baking dish as it will make it easier to remove the bars once they are set.
