I used to make a lot of balls/bites/snacks rolled into circular form…whatever you want to call them. My favorite, however, is ballz.

I would pop them throughout the day whenever I was (ironically) too busy cooking, styling, photographing other food to eat, before a workout, after a workout, while making dinner and starving, before bed as dessert, seriously…all the time.

I think the first recipe I ever shared of them were these oat almond date energy bites. But then one day, I just randomly stopped for no particular reason.

But, I missed my balls.

So earlier this fall I made pumpkin spice chocolate chip bites which seemed to be a big hit (and definitely were in my house as about 5 batches were made) and now, we’re doing gingerbread chocolate chip bites.

If I thought I loved the pumpkin ones, these are even better.
