Notes

keep their shape well at room temperature, especially not this time of year. So, sadly, they don't travel terribly well. But they make great breakfasts or after-school snacks! If you prefer, you can roll the dough into ~ 2Tbsp balls before garnishing, instead of pressing them into the pan and cutting into bars. Yield 18-20 bars or about 40 balls.
