Notes
Line the 9x13 dish with parchment, leaving overhang, for easy lift and clean cuts.
Press the base firmly and evenly; a flat bottomed cup helps pack the crumbs so bars slice neatly.
Melt the topping low and slow, stirring constantly; remove from heat as soon as chips are almost melted to prevent scorching.
Chill until just set, about 1 hour, then score the top with a warm knife before cutting to avoid cracks.
Make ahead and store covered in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge for best texture.
