I baked the squares for an extra 5 minutes because I like them a little crispy on the edges.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The squares had a richer flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The squares were still plenty delicious.

I've made these squares gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and flour. They turned out just as delicious.

I've never been a big fan of coconut, but these Dream Squares changed my mind. The coconut adds a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the chocolate chips.
