What's the best way to get seeds from a vanilla pod for this recipe?

To extract the seeds, slice the vanilla pod lengthwise with a sharp knife, then use the back of the knife to scrape out the tiny black seeds. These add a richer vanilla flavor than extract alone.

My dream ball mixture isn't forming a ball in the food processor; what should I do?

If the mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of melted coconut oil or agave/maple syrup, as specified in the optional ingredients, and process again until it clumps together.

What kind of chocolate should I use for dipping these dream balls?

The recipe suggests dipping them in raw chocolate or melted dark chocolate. Choose a high-quality vegan dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.

How should I store these Lavender Vanilla Dream Balls?

After rolling and dipping, stick them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated in an airtight container.
