Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make these bars ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! These bars taste great when made a day in advance. Just keep them refrigerated and bring to room temperature before serving.
Q: Can I use light cream cheese or butter?
A: For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and butter. Light versions may affect the texture and richness.
Q: How do I prevent the bars from sticking to the pan?
A: Lining your pan with parchment paper or lightly greasing it will help you remove the bars easily.
Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes! Just use a larger baking dish and adjust the baking time accordingly, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
