Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also substitute the chopped nuts with your favorite variety, such as pecans or almonds, to personalize the taste. If you're looking for a vegan option, use a plant-based margarine and ensure your sugars are vegan-friendly. Mixing in a pinch of sea salt can enhance the sweetness of the brown sugar.
