If soft, refrigerate until firm enough to create balls. Using a melon or small ice cream scoop, spoon balls on to dehydrator screens and dehydrate at 118⁰ until balls are firm and crisp on the outside and semi dry on the inside. Store in the fridge and use dehydrator to re-warm and crisp before serving.
