Ideas to play with

Twists and variations to try. Suggestions, not hers.

  • Peanut butter swirl

    Drop small spoonfuls of peanut butter on each piece and swirl with a toothpick.

  • Pan fudge

    Spread it in a buttered 8×8 pan instead of dropping it, and cut into squares.

  • Toppings

    Top each drop with a pecan half, a pinch of sea salt, or holiday sprinkles.

  • Microwave

    Melt the milk and chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time.
