Storing Your Christmas Balls Cookies
To keep your No-Bake Christmas Balls Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, but we doubt they'll last that long! The cooling time allows the flavors to meld together, making them even more delicious over time.
If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe container, where they can be stored for up to three months. Just remember to thaw them in the fridge before serving!
Serving Suggestions
These No-Bake Christmas Balls Cookies can be enjoyed on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. Serve them alongside coffee, hot chocolate, or even a glass of milk for a comforting treat. Their rich, sweet flavor complements the warm drinks beautifully.
For an extra festive touch, consider rolling them in additional shredded coconut or crushed nuts before serving. This not only enhances their appearance but adds a delightful texture that everyone will love. Your guests will be asking for seconds and thirds!
