Salted Dark Chocolate Cookie Butter Cups FAQ
Should these be stored at RT or in the fridge?
They are fine at room temp for a few days but store in the fridge if you are in warm climates or for longer-term storage.
How to avoid chocolate seizing:
Melt in a double broiler, melt in 30-second increments in the microwave, stiring between each time. Go slow. Trying to rush may give you troubles
I don't like dark chocolate, how can I make these sweeter?
Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate in place of dark chocolate

Maritess says
I would use it to bake some Holiday treats and if there are leftovers over toast.
Alison Braidwood says
I know we're supposed to give you a recipe, but I'd probably end up eating it straight from the bottle with a spoon. In one sitting. However, if I suddenly develop some self-control, I think I'd try using it with my whipped shortbread recipe.
Denise says
That sounds delicious! (And it is pretty darn tasty straight from the jar ๐ )
Carey Hurst says
Oh boy what to make ,
