Instructions

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, dried cranberries, slivered almonds, and salt.
Add in pecan butter and Mezzetta's maraschino cherries; use a spatula or spoon to combine.
Place the bowl in freezer for 10-15 minutes to let dough harden - it will make the forming the energy balls much easier.
Using a spoon, scoop mixture into rounded balls (rolling between palms to shape).

Notes

Store in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. I like to add a few to individual baggies to easily grab and take on the go.
Then scoop mixture into rounded balls with a spoon or medium sized cookie scooper. Roll between hand palms to shape into balls and enjoy!
