They are only few natural ingredients that all go into pot at once and then you whisk until it’s thickened to your liking.

Before cutting, the bars should be thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator for at least 3- 4 hours or even overnight.
To keep the edges of yours bars neat and tidy, whip the knife off with a damp cloth in between each slice.
