• COCOA KRISPY BARS
• 1 Tbsp. light margarine
• 1 oz unsweetened chocolate - 1 square
• 1 (7oz) jar marshmallow crème
• 1 Tbsp. cocoa

Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:

• Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
• Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
• Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.
