For a richer chocolate flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder. To add a touch of warmth, a pinch of cinnamon can be included in the chocolate mixture. For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for the peanuts. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the chocolate from melting.
