Notes
Ingredient Substitutions: For a healthier option, use dark chocolate or almond butter instead of white chocolate and peanut butter. Optional Variations: Add a dash of salt or crushed nuts for added flavor and crunch. You can substitute freeze-dried strawberries with other fruits like raspberries or blueberries. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For a firmer texture, keep it in the fridge.
