Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Storage: You can make these bars in advance! Simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour, but be sure to adjust the quantity as coconut flour is more absorbent.
Slicing Tips: To make slicing easier, run a sharp knife under hot water before cutting into bars for clean edges.
Storing Leftovers: Keep any uneaten bars wrapped tightly in wax paper or in a container to maintain their freshness.
