  • 2 cups White Chocolate Chips Substitute with milk chocolate or dark chocolate if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Can be replaced with vegetable oil or unsalted butter.
For Flavor Enhancement
  • 1 cup Strawberry Cake Mix Substitute with vanilla cake mix for a less intense strawberry flavor.
