NOTE:
  • The procedure is the same with the second and third recipe, only the ingredients are different. In the third recipe, decorate with melted chocolate over the white glaze when the bar is already dried and baked and cold.

  • You can put the mixture mixed to make the bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up a bit, then it will be easier to work with. You can also freeze it for 10-15 minutes.

  • Keep the bars in a box with a lid in a dry place.
