These Yum Yum Balls take me back to my primary school days! They remind me of kid’s parties and sleepovers because that’s when I remember eating them. Mum never made these at home so they were such a treat when going to friends’ houses! A few years back I was reminded of these yummy treats and went looking for the recipe without any luck.

But now I love them because they are so pretty. Most of the vegetables are dying back because of … [Read More...]
