Notes

Store these sweets in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm. For added flavor, experiment by mixing in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the blends. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the nuts more finely before mixing. Feel free to adjust the size of the balls to suit your needs—smaller bites are great for snacking, while larger ones can be meal accompaniments. These treats freeze well, so you can make a big batch and enjoy them later.
