How to Store the No Bake Peanut Butter Coconut Balls
You can store your peanut butter balls in an airtight container. I like using glass storage containers or Stasher bags.
Store them in refrigerator or freezer. They’ll last up to 1-2 weeks in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. That said, they never last more than a week at our house!

Could I use maple syrup instead of honey and if so, how much
Yes, you could! It would be the same amount.
