FAQs
Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute with dark or milk chocolate if preferred. The flavor profile will be richer and less sweet but equally delicious.
Do I need to toast the nuts before adding them?
Toasting nuts is optional but recommended to enhance their flavor and crunch. Simply toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant, then let cool before mixing.
