Press into the pan
PressPress the mixture firmly into the lined pan. Use a second piece of parchment paper and the back of a measuring cup to help flatten and smooth the top evenly.
Chill and slice
ChillTransfer the pan to the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour, then lift out and slice into bars.

Cook's noteUse runny, smooth natural nut butter and don't cut the chilling time short — the bars need at least an hour in the fridge to hold together.
