Yes, you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate if you prefer. Just follow the same melting process!

How can I make these cookies more festive?
Add themed sprinkles, use unique food coloring, or shape the chocolate into spooky designs! You can even use Halloween cookie cutters for different shapes.
