      I LOVE these luscious little balls. So easy to make and very yummy.
      Today I made a batch for my daughter and her children. As I have a bruised and battered hand (from a fall!!) I rolled them into balls while wearing non odour plastic gloves. It was brilliant so I'll be doing that in future.
      Thanks so much.
