Put everything except the candy cane or cacao nibs, chocolate chips and water into a bowl and mix well.
Slowly add water if needed. You may not need any water if your almond butter is runny. Start with a teaspoon and slowly add until you get a well mixed batter. If you add too much then the batter will be too soft to roll.
Add the candy canes/cacao nibs and chocolate chips and mix again.
Allow to chill in the fridge while you clean up, then roll into balls.
You can then top with more crushed candy canes for presentation if you want. I just rolled them in or sprinkled them on top.
