Notes
Make ahead of time. These will keep at room temperature for 1–2 days, in the refrigerator for 1–2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow frozen bites to thaw before eating.
Variations. Substitute your favorite kind of chips (white chocolate, butterscotch, milk chocolate, etc.) for the mini chocolate chips, if desired.
