Add Some Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, over the chocolate layer for added texture.
Flavor Twist: For a different flavor profile, use peanut butter cups instead of chocolate bars.
Chocolate Variations: Try using dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even caramel-filled chocolate bars for a different taste.
Healthier Option: Substitute half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce to reduce the fat content.
