FAQs

Can I skip heat-treating the flour?

No, raw flour can contain bacteria, so heat-treating is necessary.

What’s the best chocolate for dipping?

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate works best for a balanced sweetness.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes! Use vegan butter, dairy-free chocolate, and almond milk.

How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking?

Let bars come to room temp before dipping, and add coconut oil for smoothness.

Can I use white sugar instead of brown?

Brown sugar adds moisture and flavor, but you can use white sugar if needed.

How do I get a perfect chocolate coating?

Use a fork or dipping tool and let excess chocolate drip off before placing on parchment paper.

Can I add oats to the dough?

Yes! Add ¼ cup finely blended oats for extra texture.

Can I make mini bites instead of bars?
