Frequencies of questions
Could I substitute a blender for a food processor?
Indeed, but the ideal is a food processor. Using a blender, you could regularly stop to scrape down the edges.
The best nut substitution is what?
If you are allergic to nuts, substitute sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
Can I forego the chocolate covering?
Obviously! Though it’s great without chocolate, it gives a luscious finishing touch.
How may I reduce their stickiness?
Add more chopped almonds or shredded coconut to counter the texture if the mixture is very sticky.
