Notes
Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips for variation.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a salty-sweet twist.
Add chopped peanuts or pretzel bits for crunch.
Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel for a festive touch.
Use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan version.
