Rachel’s tips
- Use the amount of honey or maple syrup that tastes best for you. I don’t like mine quite as sweet, but I know that sweetness is a personal preference.
- Try to choose a high quality chocolate with a high amount of cacao in it.
- Good chocolate can be expensive so if you ever see it on sale, stock up!
Storage Suggestions
Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or wrap tightly and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
