Instructions

Cup of Yum
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!
