FAQ:

Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor, but the overall taste will be a little less rich than with dark chocolate.

3. Can I make these bars without honey?
Yes, you can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option. The flavor may vary slightly, but the result will still be delicious.

4. How can I make these bars more indulgent?
