We like to roll these in cinnamon or crushed, unsweetened coconut. Sometimes we dip them in melted dark chocolate. Freeze the balls on a tray in a single layer to firm them up before transfering to airtight storage container. We prefer to eat them chilled, so we store these snacks in a Mason jar in the fridge.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Use about a tablespoon of mixture for each ball. Rolling with your hands is probably the easiest way to do this. Set balls on wax paper and freeze in a single layer on a cookie sheet or baking pan. Freeze until set, about 30-40 minutes.
Optional mix-ins could include 1/2 cup of any of the following: chopped raisins, dates, dried cherries, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips.
If coating with chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe container. Roll frozen balls in the chocolate. The chocolate will start to firm up instantly, but put them back in the freezer for another 30 minutes to fully harden. Store in fridge.
