Tips for the Best Banoffee Bars
Want to make the best Banoffee Bars? Here are some handy tips to ensure they turn out great every time!
- Bake the Crust: Baking the crust, as this recipe suggests, helps make it less crumbly. However, you can also chill it in the freezer for 15 minutes instead to harden the butter for easier cutting.
- Homemade Dulce de Leche: Make your own luscious dulce de leche using condensed milk on the stovetop. It’s easy and adds an extra rich flavor!
- Use a Square Pan: A square baking pan gives you even edges and neat squares for the perfect snack bar.
- Double the Recipe: For gatherings, double the recipe and use a 9×13-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. It’s perfect for potlucks and dinners!
