FAQS

  1. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

    Yes, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker and creamier texture that works better for this recipe.

  2. How long can I store the snicker bars?

    You can store them in the freezer for up to 1 week in an airtight container.

  3. Can I substitute cashews with another nut?

    Yes, you can use almonds or walnuts, but cashews provide a creamier consistency.

  4. What type of chocolate works best for dipping?

    Dark chocolate is recommended for a richer flavor, but you can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate as well.

  5. Is the recipe vegan?

    No, as it contains Greek yogurt, but you can substitute it with a plant-based yogurt to make it vegan.
