Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt to balance the sweetness of the white chocolate. If you're looking for a nut-free option, substitute nuts with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. You can also use dark or milk chocolate instead of white for a different taste. Experiment with additional mix-ins like dried fruit or popcorn for more texture, similar to what you’d find in a Cinnamon Crisp Snack Mix.
