• Add zest for extra flavor : Sprinkle in some fresh lemon zest for an intensified citrus kick.
• Store properly : Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
• Freeze for later : Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
