Notes

1. Use any nuts of your choice, finely chop them and then roast them. Just keep in mind of the quantity 
2. In-case you don't have brown sugar you can add white sugar
3. After you have cut the bars you can also bake them at 200 C for 7-8 mins. This way the bar will be more crisper and holds the shape better. After you bake then cool it for 30 -40 mins and then store..
