For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter. Feel free to substitute other nuts or dried fruits based on your preference. Pecans, walnuts, dried cranberries, or chopped dates would all be delicious. If you prefer a less sweet mix, reduce the amount of brown sugar. For a vegan option, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. To add more visual appeal, consider adding fall-colored sprinkles after baking.
