Notes
- Room-temperature ingredients make it so much easier to mix everything together and give you that nice, smooth batter.
- Before you add the filling, give your crust some time to chill. A fully-cooled crust ensures your filling sets perfectly, creating a delicious and satisfying treat!
- Watch those bars closely while they bake! Aim for a slight jiggle in the center when you pull them out for that perfect texture!
