Notes
The amount of sugar in this recipe is minimal, but you can add more sugar if you would like it sweeter.
You can sub out the peanut butter for any nut butter.
You can use a 9×9 square pan instead, but the bars will be thinner and you would need to adjust the baking time.
These bars need to cool in the pan completely before cutting into squares.
The recipe calls for 9 bars, but slice them up however big or small you would like.
