How to Prepare One Bowl Chocolate, Caramel Almond Balls [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a large bowl mix the chai seeds and the water together and let thicken for about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile measure out the rest of the ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. When the chai mixture is gluey, add the rest of the ingredients together in the bowl and mix well, either with your hands or a wooden spoon. Using my hands was much easier so go on and get those hands dirty!
When fully incorporated use a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon to measure out the mix and form them into balls. Transfer the ball to the lined baking sheet and continue with the rest of the mix. When completed, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
At this point they are semi-frozen and so delicious. Enjoy!
