- Pour a thin layer of white chocolate first so that some of the mold is empty. This allows the green chocolate to appear.
- Keep the chocolate on low and watch it closely to prevent burning
- Don't over-pulse the nuts, they need to stay crumbly. Over blending will turn them to nut butter and ruin the texture.
