- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars and devouring.
- Notes: 1.
- If you cant find pomegranate seeds, feel free to omit, or roughly chop your favorite kind of nuts and add them in.
- 2.
- Chilling the bars before cutting is key.
- Otherwise they are very sticky.
- I recommend chilling them and then lifting them out of the pan, slicing them and then immediately placing into an airtight container with parchment paper in between the layers.
- Store them in the refrigerator.
