Tips:

  • To ensure even baking, make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing the baking pan inside.
  • Use a light-colored baking pan to prevent the bars from browning too quickly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the macadamia nuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the bars.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet chocolate chips.
  • If you want a chewier bar, reduce the amount of flour in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
  • The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
