  • Use dark or white chocolate for variety.
  • Add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut can enhance flavor and texture.
  • Chill longer if clusters are too soft or increase chocolate slightly.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate and butter for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Perfect for kids to help make with supervision during melting steps.
