Notes
Serving Tips:
- Cut with Ease: Use a sharp knife or a plastic knife to cut the treats into squares. Butter or spray the knife with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Perfect Portioning: For smaller gatherings, cut the treats into bite-sized pieces. For parties or events, larger squares work well as grab-and-go treats.
- Add a Topping: Serve with a drizzle of melted white chocolate, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
- Pair It Up: Serve alongside a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a fun and indulgent treat pairing.
Storage Tips:
- Room Temperature: Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Place parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Refrigeration: If you prefer firmer treats, refrigerate them in a sealed container. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the treats for up to 1 month. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
- Avoid Humidity: Keep the treats away from high-humidity areas to prevent them from becoming soggy or sticky.
