FAQs
Q: Can I make the batter ahead?
A: Yes. Store covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before using.
Q: How do I keep the ears from breaking?
A: Make the ears with a steady small stream from the squeeze bottle and cook on low heat so they set before flipping.

A: Yes. Use almond, soy, or oat milk. The texture may change slightly but it will still work.
Q: Can I make these without a squeeze bottle?
A: Yes. Use a small spoon and carefully drop the batter to form the head and ears.
Q: How do I make the face details if I have no chocolate?
