Kitchen notes

White Chocolate –

We do recommend using quality chocolate as it is going to be a stand out flavor for you. You can use chocolate chips or a chocolate bar you dice up and mix in. Milk – You will have a richer flavor if you use a whole milk. But you can use any style of milk or plant based milk alternative you would like.
