❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Replace the butter with coconut oil. Use the same quantity and the texture will be almost identical.
Can I swap the nuts?
Absolutely! Walnuts, almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts all work beautifully. Use whatever you have on hand.
How do I melt the chocolate perfectly?
Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst. Don’t overheat or it will seize.
Is this suitable for kids?
Yes! It’s a great healthy snack for kids. If making for very young children, chop the nuts finely before adding.
