Notes
- SCHARFFEN BERGER cocoa nibs are the best that I have tried. They are harder to find, but are a finer texture and taste better.
- Cocoa nibs add some crunch when you don't want to add nuts, and they have a slight chocolate flavor to them.
- No this is not a sponsored post, just my honest opinion
