- You can also add other ingredients to the bars, such as raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips.
- Be careful not to overbake the bars, as they will become dry and hard.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting into them, as they will be very hot and crumbly when they first come out of the oven.
