"Delicious vegetarian appetizer. These nut balls have a meaty taste and are very addictive! You can easily vary the types of nuts and spices to suit your taste."

These have a nice flavor and were very good with the mustard to dip! Good for you too. I halved the recipe and enjoyed it. Thanks! Made for the Vegetarian Swap-March 2009.
