# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in literally fifteen minutes with zero cooking required
  • The texture somehow gets better after a few days in the fridge
  • You can customize them with whatever mix-ins you have in your pantry
02 -
  • The mixture should feel sticky but not wet, and if it is too dry to roll, add another teaspoon of honey
  • Letting them sit in the refrigerator overnight improves the texture dramatically
  • These can be frozen for months and actually taste great straight from the freezer
03 -
  • If your hands get too sticky while rolling, wet them slightly with cold water between batches
  • Room temperature ingredients mix much more easily than cold ones straight from the fridge
