Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the chocolate and butterscotch morsels are melted over low heat, stirring frequently. If you want a nut-free version, you can substitute the walnuts with sunflower seeds or omit them entirely. For added crunch, consider using pretzel pieces instead of noodles. To enhance flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the melted mixture.
