Tips & Tricks
- Too Dry - If the mixture is too dry, add a little extra tahini or nut butter.
- Too Sticky - Add a little extra desiccated coconut. You can always add a little desiccated into the mixture before forming the energy balls.
- Sizing - To get the perfect sizing, use a cookie scoop to get even sizing.
- Wet Hands - Before forming the balls, wet your hands a little. This makes the process a little less messy and helps the batter to not stick to your hands.
- Refrigerate - Store them in fridge to always have a snack on hand and for them to set a little.

These carrot cake bliss balls will last 4-5 days in an airtight container out of the refrigerator. Because they are raw and vegan there isn't much in them that will go bad.
Bliss balls should be stored in an air-tight container or a zip-lock bag. They can then last for 9 - 10 days stored in the fridge. But be warned, they are irresistible so they may not last that long - mine never do!
Bliss balls can also be frozen! If you freeze them they will last up to 3 months in the freezer. Make sure to freeze them in a large airtight container so that they have a little space in between each ball. You don't want them all to be frozen together.
