What To Avoid While Making This Recipe?
- Using Melted Butter Instead of Margarine (if specified): The recipe specifically calls for margarine, which has a different moisture and fat content than butter. Substituting may alter the texture.
- Forgetting to Protect the Crust Edges: If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent them from burning while the filling finishes cooking.
- Using Low-Quality Chocolate Chips: The chocolate flavor is a key component of this recipe, so opt for high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste.
