INGREDIENT NOTES:
SUGAR-FREE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS:

DRIED CRANBERRIES:
- They give a chewy texture to the snack. Dried cranberries provide tartness to maintain the sweetness of white chocolate. You may use dried cherries, apricots, or strawberries as an alternative.
PECANS:
- Pecans have a crunchy texture and buttery taste. They make the dessert more satisfying. You may use walnuts, pistachios, or sunflower seeds as another choice.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
