Notes

It's easier to reshape the balls once they have been in the freezer. The mixture is very sticky after the food processor. 
Use other nut butters such as almond butter for a substitute for peanut butter.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze in an airtight container for up to a month.
