Additional Notes / Tips to Enhance Flavor
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth or cayenne if you like a little sass.
- Swirl in nut butter or chopped nuts for texture.
- Store in freezer for firmer bites that last longer (or don’t, we get it).
- Make a double batch because they will “mysteriously” disappear.
- Pairs well with a rom-com and a glass of almond milk.
