Notes
- Browning the butter is an optional step but adds great flavor. If you don't want to, just melt the butter over low heat and proceed with the recipe.
- I tested with semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. My kids preferred milk chocolate, use your favorite.
- The recipe will make 12-24 bars, depending on how generously you slice them.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
