Additional Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavour. For an extra crunch, toast the spelt flakes lightly before coating. Avoid overmixing once spelt is added to keep its texture crisp.
Storage
Keep in an airtight jar or tin in a cool, dry place for up to 10 days. You can refrigerate them, but bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
