Notes

  • The equipment section above provides affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and love.
  • Cacao powder and cocoa powder can be used interchangeably here as long as whatever you use is unsweetened (important).
  • If you can’t find bittersweet chocolate chips (or don’t like them), sub whatever you like! Just know that the sweetness level will change.
