Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why keep them small?
They’re super rich, so keeping them around 1¼ inch makes a perfect bite. Smaller sizes also give you more to share!
→ What’s the best way to store them?
Keep them in a closed container in the fridge. Chilling helps them stay firm and keep their shape.
→ Are they freezer-friendly?
Absolutely! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge when ready.
→ Why is chilling important?
The mixture sets better when chilled, so rolling balls is easier and less sticky on your hands.
→ Any coating options besides graham crumbs?
Totally! Try coating them with cocoa powder or shredded coconut for some fun variety.
