Notes
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The taste of chocolate makes a difference. Use good-quality chocolate chips for sweetness.
- Mix Well: Ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture for the best flavor and texture.
- Experiment with Toppings: Consider adding nuts, dried fruits, or mini marshmallows to make it your own.
- Chill Thoroughly: Allow enough time for chilling. This helps them hold their shape.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
