- Use a variety of nuts: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of nuts in your nut butter balls. Some popular choices include almonds, peanuts, cashews, and walnuts.
- Add mix-ins: Mix-ins are a great way to add flavor and texture to your nut butter balls. Some popular mix-ins include chocolate chips, dried fruit, and shredded coconut.
- Roll the balls in a coating: Rolling the balls in a coating, such as cocoa powder or crushed nuts, will help to keep them from sticking together and will also add flavor.
- Chill the balls before serving: Chilling the balls before serving will help them to firm up and will make them easier to eat.
