Best Mocha Cherry Balls Recipes
CHERRY MOCHA BALLS
My mother-in-law gave me this recipe before my wedding (six children ago!). I've made mocha balls nearly every Christmas since then. Because they freeze so well, I bake some early and put them away to call on as last-minute holiday treats. -Jeana Crowell, Whitewater, Kansas
