Yum, I like how they go crisp around the edges:))
ReplyDeleteIt sure helps hold them together! :-)
DeleteYummmmm these are totally my thing. Maybe if I didn't tell the hubs what was in them?... Great idea Sandy, they look wonderful x
ReplyDeleteThat's my rule of thumb - don't reveal any ingredients and they love it ;-)
DeleteI LOVE the look of these! What a great idea :) It's never occurred to me to make balls out of these ingredients but it would be a fantastic change for serving things.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kari :-)
DeleteWhat are borlotti beans? I've never heard of them. Where do you get them?
ReplyDeleteBorlotti beans are specked red & white colours.
DeleteI can get them at our health food store in a can just like other beans, sometimes from a regular grocery store too :-)
