Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before beginning the recipe. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients and will result in a smoother batter.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips. You can also use different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to create different flavor variations.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the butter mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the butter mixture. Overcooking will cause the mixture to become too hard and brittle.
- For a neater appearance, use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the bites are all the same size and shape.
- Allow the bites to cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
