Notes
Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help it hold together.For a no-bake version, refrigerate the mixture until set instead of baking.Add chocolate chips after slight cooling to prevent melting completely.Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for extra richness.Honey can be used instead of golden syrup for a slightly different flavor.
