I remember as a child, my mom use to make foods that were also fun to eat. I don't know if this is the recipe that she used or not. In this recipe, it tells you to roll little balls and put it on a cookie sheet. My mom used a mini cupcake tin and used liners. The recipe is also very vague on the instructions, so I have detailed it for clarity. I've also added a few twist and tweaks. Any way, it so yummuy and great for a quick snack! The photo is not mine, but the texture looks like my mom's and also the shape of it is different because she used a mini cupcake pan.
