Notes
You can customize these candies by adding different types of nuts or even shredded coconut for extra texture.
If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, consider melting some chocolate to drizzle over the top before freezing.
Keep these treats in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy them, as they can soften quickly at room temperature.
