TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING BLISS BALLS

Once you have all your ingredients prepped, the bliss balls come together in just minutes.
It's important to let the bliss balls sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to ensure they hold their shape.
These can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, but you can also freeze them. They'll stay fresh up to 3 months in the freezer. To freeze, pop them in the freezer on a baking sheet until firm. Then, store in a freezer-safe container.
If you like the chewy texture, let them thaw a few minutes at room temperature before snacking.
