Swaps & notes

For thicker bark, spread into a smaller area, or use a slightly larger amount of the mixture. Feel free to add a sprinkle of sea salt, seeds (pumpkin, chia, flax, etc.) or even a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor. Try whichever nuts you'd like, experiment with different dried fruits, make some with and without coconut flakes.
