There’s a common misconception with Mallow Balls in that people think of them as a child’s party or snack food. Everyone loves them but people seem to be afraid to make them or serve them to adults for fear of looking childish.
Well I’m here to tell you my friends, that they are neither too childish nor party nibblish (is that even a word?!), to not make any time of the year, for any occasion, for any age! Trust me people…. Adults and children alike will love you for making these.
However, if you do have children, I suggest letting them help you in the kitchen with these. They really are quite fun to make 🙂
