- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar amount or using alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for different dietary needs.
- Crush toffee bars just before sprinkling to maintain their crisp texture and prevent moisture absorption.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and reduce caramel sauce quantity to cut down on calories.
