Banana Almond Cocoa Balls Calories

Yes, keep Banana Almond Cocoa Balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Their mashed banana makes them perishable, so avoid leaving them at room temperature for extended periods and return uneaten portions to the fridge promptly.

Yes, Banana Almond Cocoa Balls freeze well. Freeze them spaced apart on a tray first, then transfer them to a closed freezer-safe container; thaw the portion you want in the refrigerator before eating.
