Note

Storage: Keep these bars covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for longer storage; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.

Substitutions: You can substitute the walnuts or pecans with other nuts like almonds or cashews, or omit them entirely for a nut-free version. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free chocolate chips and a plant-based evaporated milk alternative.

Tips: Ensure the chocolate and milk mixture is smooth before pouring it over the dry ingredients to avoid lumps. If the mixture is too thick to spread easily, microwave the reserved topping for 10-15 seconds to loosen it.
