Preparation

  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Bake the crust for about 13 minutes.
Making the filling

Final baking

Notes

Letting the bars cool completely ensures neater squares. Store in a sealed container for up to three days at room temperature; about a week in the fridge, or freeze for longer storage.
