• Drop the dough mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and bubbly, starting to brown on the edges (mine took around 12 minutes).
• Once removed from the oven, while the crust is still warm, add the chocolate on top. Let it sit for a few minutes, or until slightly melted. Spread the chocolate with a rubber spatula evenly. Add the chopped nuts (if using).
• Let sit for about 20 minutes, or until chocolate is set. For a more set or chilled bar, place it into the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes.
• Cut into squares and enjoy! Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up o 5 days (you may want to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes after removing them from the refrigerator).
