Start by lining a large plate or tray with parchment paper and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. Mix until everything is fully incorporated and you have a thick, glossy dough.

At first, the mixture may look too soft or sticky, but keep mixing — it will come together into a smooth, rollable texture. If you like extra texture, you can fold in chocolate chips at this point, but they’re completely optional.

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them onto the lined plate. Once all balls are formed, transfer the plate to the fridge or freezer and chill until firm.

That’s it. No baking, no cooking — just chill and enjoy.
