Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Batch Preparation: Make a big batch and store them in a freezer bag; they’ll last for about a month, but they’ll likely be gone long before that!
- Avoid Ice Crystals: To maintain the creaminess, ensure they are stored in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, feel free to use any nut or seed butter you love—sunflower seed butter works wonderfully for nut-free options.
