Extra Notes: I use a small cookie scoop to get a consistent size, roll for a few seconds in my hands to shape a bit then roll around in a small container of chopped nuts. The small container allows for the chopped nuts to be kinda deep. Then I give another quick roll in hands to press the nuts in a bit, set on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper and when I'm done they go into freezer or fridge to firm up. I've been keeping them in the freezer and taking a few out at a time about 10 minutes before serving. They are sooooo good and soooo impressive.
