Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Want a pop of extra color? Add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate before mixing it in.
- If making this with kids, let them sprinkle the toppings—it’s a fun and easy way to get them involved!
- Don’t skip the parchment paper or silicone mat. It prevents sticking and makes cleanup super easy.
