Biscuit Base Variations:For a more decadent base, use oatcakes blended with a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist. Alternatively, crushed nuts like almonds or pecans can add a delightful textural contrast.
Fruity Fun:For a fruity twist, swap the biscuit base for a layer of crushed fruit like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. Opt for frozen berries to create a juicy layer.
The No-Bake Base: Not got around to baking a base yet? No problem! Or 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and then stir in the oats. For a fast and easy chocolatey base, press the mixture into the bottom of your jars.
