You guys know I love talking about store bought goodies, but during the holidays there are so many new faces in my home, having paleo, gluten-free or vegetarian options available is super important!

You are going to start by mixing everything together. Mix it well – it might be a little dry to start out with, but keep mixing!! Trust me! Next make a little ball – Mine vary between about the size of a large grape and the size of a golf ball – super consistent, right!?! Once I get them on parchment lined baking sheet, I like to freeze mine and take them out when I’m ready… as I’m ready to eat them!
