Do the goji berries get added in step 2? Do they need to be chopped?
Step 3: Does the almond butter need to be melted to bind all the ingredients together?
Thanks, I want to get it right.
Hi Gillian, yes the goji berries do need to be added in step 2 and they can remain whole. We’ve updated the instructions to reflect that step! In step 3, almond butter does not need to be melted. Thanks!
