Comments
If you want Chocolate Balls, add either 2 ounces of melted baker's chocolate or 2 tablespoons of cocoa to the mixture.

You can roll them in confectioner's sugar, and then afterwrds, carefully dip them into white melting chocolate or any other colored melting chocolate for a really nice touch.

These are good at Christmas or Valentine's Day.

If you don't like cherries, add some citron.
