- Sweeteners: Ensure the pudding mix, whipped topping, and chocolate chips are sugar-free to keep the recipe low-carb and keto-friendly.
- Chilling Time: Allowing the dessert to chill for at least four hours (or overnight) is crucial for the crackers to soften and for the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Optional Additions: You can sprinkle crushed nuts or add a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce on top for added texture and flavor.
