  4. In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips, stirring in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Assembly

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or refrigerated for up to a month. Use parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking. Customize with nuts, marshmallows, or spices for variations.
