After refrigerating for at least an hour until the chocolate is fully cooled and firm, use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into neat bars.

How long do these Peanut Butter Bars need to chill before serving?

The bars require at least an hour of refrigeration for the chocolate topping to fully cool and set, ensuring a firm texture.

How should I store leftover vegan Peanut Butter Bars?
