Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the chocolate chips are of good quality and avoid over-microwaving; check every 30 seconds. If you want to experiment, substitute almond butter for peanut butter or use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. You can also add nuts or dried fruit between layers for added texture.
