Notes
Tip
Kids love to get their hands sticky, so let them help you roll the mixture into balls.
Tip
Get super-organised, make a double batch and freeze some for later!
Variation
If you'd like some added crunch, swap the seeds for your favourite nuts.
Storage
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
