Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier blending. If you don’t have unsweetened chocolate, you can use cocoa powder mixed with a bit of butter as a substitute. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the mixture. You can also experiment with different nuts or dried fruits to customize the bars to your liking.
