Notes

For a firmer texture, let the balls chill longer in the refrigerator. Store the Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Experiment with flavor variations by adding ground cinnamon for warmth or using different nut butters, like almond or cashew butter.
