Storage Tips for Freshness
To keep your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to one week, although we doubt they will last that long! For longer storage, you can also freeze the bites. Simply place them in a freezer-safe container, and they will stay delicious for up to three months.
When you're ready to enjoy your frozen bites, simply let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours, or enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat. This flexibility makes them an ideal snack for any time of the year.

Nutritional Information
While these cookie dough bites are a treat, it's important to enjoy them in moderation. Each bite contains a mix of sugars and fats, making them a rich indulgence. However, they also provide a source of energy and can be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than an everyday snack.
You can adjust the ingredients to make them a bit healthier. Using less sugar or substituting some of the butter with applesauce can reduce the calorie count while still maintaining their delicious flavor. Remember, balance is key in any diet!
