How To Make martha washington balls

  • 1
    Mix first 5 ingredients together & chill in freezer for about 5-10 minutes.

    Dip hands in confectioners' sugar to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. Roll out 1/2in to 1in size balls until mixture is gone.

    Insert toothpick into each ball then set in freezer again to chill.

    Dip each ball into chocolate until all are dipped & coated. You may add as many coatings of chocolate as you prefer. I prefer 2 coatings.
