- Use ripe pineapple: Fresh, ripe pineapple will give your bars the best flavor. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.

- Bake the bars until they are set: The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Store the bars in an airtight container: The bars can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
