- Use good chocolate for better flavor and texture.
- Don’t crush the cereal too much — you want that airy crunch.
- Let them set fully before cutting for clean edges.
- Add-ins: chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or mini marshmallows.
🍬 Variations
- Protein version: Mix in a scoop of chocolate protein powder.
- Caramel twist: Drizzle caramel before chilling.
