• Press the mixture down firmly into the container so the bars hold together better.

• Refrigerating overnight helps create a firmer, less crumbly texture.

• If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more peanut butter or a small amount of honey/maple syrup.

• If the mixture feels too soft, add a little more oats.

• Chop the dried fruit into small pieces so it spreads evenly through the bars.

• For a smoother texture, lightly crush some of the pumpkin seeds before mixing.
