Notes
Press firmly: A well pressed mixture holds together much better when baked.
Blitz well: Use a finer blade for soft bars, which is better for young toddlers.
Don't overbake: Bake just until the mixture sets, as longer baking gives a drier and extremely chewy texture.
Let it cool completely: Wait until it cools completely before cutting, as warm bars can crumble.
