• What if I dont like nuts? Skip chopped peanuts or swap for seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
• Do I have to use the pressure cooker for this recipe? Nah, this one mostly freezes, but pressure cooker helps if you want to soften bananas quicker or melt chocolate without a stove.
• How long can I store these bites? If kept frozen, they stay good for about 2 weeks, but dang, they rarely last that long.
