Storage Tips
To keep your Vegan Oreo Truffle Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to a week, but trust us, they won’t last that long! If you want to prepare them in advance, you can freeze the truffles for up to three months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply take them out of the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours. This way, you’ll have a delicious treat ready whenever a chocolate craving strikes!
