I think it's rather annoying to have to measure out ingredients, so I thought up a recipe that only requires measuring with a measuring spoon. Once you get it down, it's so easy! You can make it anytime!

The amounts for the chocolate flavor are listed in parentheses.
On Step 4, don't knead. It should become crumbly. Recipe by Chugakusei kitchen
