Super Easy Cake Balls to Make for Mother’s Day
Come on, you know you love them. Those little sugary spheres of deliciousness are just the right size for a treat.
I found this recipe in a recent edition of Bon Appetit. It was actually in one of the advertisements, but I tried it – and it was super easy. I wanted to share it in case someone out there wanted to make it for Mom for Mothers Day – it’s this Sunday!
Even a non-cook could make these in a snap. And, if you have a kid or two to help, even better. There’s no cooking involved – just dumping, stirring and rolling. I even made a recipe without the banana and added a little extra milk. It worked fine.
Here’s the recipe, with credit to Jell-O.
