Notes
- For a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts.
- You can substitute dark or milk chocolate chips according to preference.

- These treats should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 5 days.
- If coconut is not preferred, rolling the balls in cocoa powder or crushed nuts can be alternative coatings.
