💡 Chef tips
- To make this recipe strictly pareve for a meat meal, use plant-based margarine and your favorite dairy-free milk.
- Store the chocolate balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to one month.
- If the mixture feels too dry to roll, add an extra splash of milk; if it is too sticky, let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes before shaping.
