Tami’s notes
Experiment with different chocolate flavors by using dark chocolate or white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Keep the bars refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
If the bars are too firm from the fridge, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
