  • Place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to let them set up.
  • Remove from fridge and roll into golf ball sized balls.

Notes

  • I chose not to use honey this go around because I’ve read that honey shouldn’t be consumed by children under 1 years of age and I am breastfeeding and didn’t want to chance anything. So maple syrup it was and it worked great!
