Tips:
- Use quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the bars will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the bars before cutting them. This will help them set properly and make them easier to cut.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
