    Really yum! Especially if you like chocolate...there's a real chocolatey taste.  I rolled mine in toasted sesamee seeds.

    Wow delicious....I added my Pistachios after step 1 - 5 seconds, speed 7 as I wanted these finer for the children. As Jaceyk commented, I too added the orange juice. Very enjoyable. Yummo...

    Oh my goodness! I followed up to step 3 but mixture was too dry so I added mixed all of it on speed 8 (like I have done for other balls) but still not clumping well so added 2 tablespoons of orange juice and mixed speed 4 for 3 seconds. It was then perfect to make into balls and OMG they tasted like Toblerone!!! (I used cacao and pistachios and just vanilla essence). Yum!
