Cut and Serve: To cut, run a sharp knife under hot water and slice the bars, reheating the knife as necessary for clean cuts. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the topping.
Ensure the crust is firmly packed for a stable base.
Chilling the bars completely is crucial for clean cutting.
Experiment with other liqueurs to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
