Notes
Store cooled biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a 325°F (160°C) oven or toaster oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisped. They can also be frozen baked and cooled, wrapped individually, and reheated from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
