Spoon equal amounts of mix into each cavity of the GBP. Use spatula or spoon to firmly press mix in - use fill lines to help determine equal portions.
For 8x8" pan fill with mix and press in then continue with instructions.
Place filled GBP or 8x8" pan in the refrigerator for an hour to cool completely. To release bars: pull sides away from middle of pan & push up from bottom to pop out.
