  2. Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  3. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow almond flour to absorb moisture.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  5. Chill the rolled balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
