Makes: <\/a>\u00b1 12 balls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Time to make:<\/a> 25 mins (5 prep, 15 in oven, 5 on stovetop)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These yummies are not my brain-child – <\/span><\/strong>I was lucky enough to enjoy them at a friend’s house and I fell in love with them. She explained how she makes them and I’ve adapted it very slightly. They are so easy and quick, full of goodness<\/strong> and perfect with any side sauce as nibbles <\/strong>or a main<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
