For a more intense blackberry flavor, consider using blackberry extract in the custard filling. Ensure the base is firmly pressed into the pan for a clean and even foundation. If the chocolate topping is too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it out. These bars are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and prevent melting.
