Hi Karin! We’re currently working on adding a calorie tracker to all our recipes. MyFitnessPal and MyPlate are two great resources with extremely user-friendly apps to track calories and nutritional content. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.
add prep time for letting mixture sit : 20 minutes and another 15 minutes for ball rolling. Also number of balls doesn´t match at 1 inch size.

Thanks Karin, we added passive time to the recipe. We try to stick to a general size of 1-inch balls, but the size does vary slightly since we don’t measure each ball out exactly. We hope that they tasted delicious and you enjoyed them!!
