  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the peanut butter mixture. Just be sure to blend it until it is very smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
  • Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
