Hi! Do you think I could double this recipe when making? Thanks!
Lucy says
Absolutely!!
Janelle says
I tried doubling and my machine couldn’t handle the mixing. Too much thick mixture once the condensed milk is in for the blades to turn

Trevor Vernon Valentine says
How long will these balls keep in an airtight tub. I want to use it as a dieting nibble, and as a diabetic snack. I see you do get reduced condense milk, so will use that. Could they be frozen?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi there, yes you can definitely freeze them. Otherwise they'll last about a week in an airtight container in the fridge. xx
Via says
They will be finished before the expiration date especially if you have kids. Lol
Kate says
I always add a bit of fresh orange juice to give the balls more flavour
Lucy says
That's a great idea!!
Tersia says
