The chocolate layer on top often makes it difficult to make clean cuts without the chocolate cracking. Here are my tips:
Don’t forget the oil in the chocolate topping.
When the chocolate is about 75% hardened, score the top of the bars by gently tracing the line where you’ll cut them. Slide the knife across as you score the bars – just going into the chocolate layer.
Use a thin, sharp knife (not a table knife).
Don’t cut the bars when they’re cold from the fridge. Room temperature chocolate is much easier to cut.
VARIATIONS

For a less sweet Nanaimo bar – make sure to use unsweetened coconut in the base layer. Use ¼ cup less powdered sugar in the middle, and dark chocolate for the topping.
