Notes
Katie's Tips:
*Sometimes I line the whole pan with foil with the sides overhanging the baking pan. After the bars cool, I pull the bars out of the baking pan and cut.
*I store the bars in a covered container in the fridge for up to a week.
*For a more upscale presentation, sprinkle the top with chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips.
