Add the flour, nibs and chia seeds and one tablespoon syrup. Hit the pulse button a few times. 4. Add 1 cup of the popcorn and the almonds, pulse 1-2 times. 5. See if the mixture will hold together, if not add another tablespoon of the syrup pulse 1-2 times. 6. Pour mixture onto parchment paper and form into balls.
