💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Results Every Time
- Plump the raisins: Soak in warm water or tea for 10 minutes, then drain—keeps bars extra moist!
- Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined for tender crumb
- Use room-temp ingredients: Ensures even mixing and rise
- Make ahead: Bars stay fresh at room temp for 3 days or freeze beautifully
- No glaze? Dust with powdered sugar or serve plain—still delicious!
