Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting the brown sugar with dark brown sugar or adding a splash of vanilla extract to the caramel mixture. If you don't have nuts on hand, dried fruits like raisins or chopped dates can add a nice twist. Be sure to monitor the cooking time in the microwave as wattages can vary, ensuring the biscuits are cooked thoroughly without becoming too hard.
