Pro Tips for the Best Rhubarb Custard Bars

🔹 Use fresh rhubarb for the best tart flavor (frozen works too—just thaw & drain first!).
🔹 Don’t overbake—the custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
🔹 Chill before cutting for cleaner slices.
🔹 Store in the fridge for up to 4 days (if they last that long!).
