- Achieving the Perfect Color: Brush the filled biscuit balls with a bit of melted butter or egg wash before baking to help them achieve that irresistible golden-brown hue.
- Storing Leftovers: Any leftover shockwave bombs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave when ready to enjoy.
