Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Macadamia nuts are expensive, so they're optional. You can also use pecans or walnuts, or omit the nuts altogether.
  • tip 2
    The lemon extract is optional but adds a punch of lemon flavor.
  • tip 3
    For a more decorative bar, melt an additional 1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips and drizzle over the cooled bars.
