Notes
Storage Directions
- Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Let thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
- Let them come to room temp before eating. The texture is best when the bites have had time to soften for 15–30 minutes.
- Use room temperature almond butter. Cold nut butter can make the dough stiff and harder to mix.
- Knead with your hands if needed. Sometimes the dough needs a little love—get in there and squish it together!
- Store in the fridge for optimal freshness. These keep best in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Have fun with the sprinkles. Switch them up for holidays, birthdays, or just because. Kids love helping with this part too!
