- Want these bites to have a more intense and rich taste? Use dark chocolate sauce and dark cocoa powder instead of the regular variety.
- You can also skip drizzling the bites with caramel and chocolate sauce and just dunk them in some melted chocolate and allow them to chill in the refrigerator until they form a shell.
- Don’t have powdered sugar or jaggery, you can use coconut sugar or maple syrup as an alternative.
- Another great idea is to add some mini marshmallows or chopped marshmallows into the mixture before you roll it out to get some extra chewiness and deliciousness.
- Want the bites to have even size and shape? Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out equal portions of the filling.
