Suggestions for one of the best magic bars.
- These magic bars are deliciously smooth and gooey after they come out of the oven. I like them whereas they’re nonetheless heat, however they’ll be a lot simpler to slice in the event you put them within the fridge for an hour or two to agency up previous to chopping.
- Line the pan with tin foil or parchment paper. This lets you carry the bars away from the pan for simpler chopping.
- Retailer your sliced magic bars in an hermetic container between layers of parchment paper. Hold within the fridge for as much as every week or out on the counter for about 5 days (in cooler temperatures). They can be frozen for as much as three months. NOTE: Whereas I choose to retailer ours within the fridge, the Smarties do are likely to lose just a little of their colour within the fridge, so chances are you’ll need to keep away from the fridge/freezer for storage in the event you’re utilizing Smarties for a topping.
