- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the balls tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
- Chill the dough before forming the balls. This will help the balls hold their shape better.
- Use a variety of toppings. You can top the balls with anything from chopped nuts to sprinkles to sea salt. Get creative and have fun!
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
