More than that? Time to pop them in the fridge or share! 😉 ### Reheating: Microwave for about **10-15 seconds** if they’ve been chilled. Just enough to warm them up and bring that chocolatey goodness back to life! ## Leftover Ideas So, okay—what if you somehow have leftovers? (I know, it sounds crazy!) Here are a few ideas: - **Cupcake Trifle**: Crumble them up and layer with cream and more raspberries. - **Ice Cream Sundae**: Cut them up and toss them into a bowl of ice cream for a treat that’s nothing short of spectacular.
