Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If freezing, wrap bars individually and freeze for up to 2 months (add marshmallows after thawing).
  • For extra crunch, add crushed pretzels or white chocolate chips to the crust.
  • Try swapping vanilla extract for almond or coconut extract for a unique flavor twist.
