I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I still enjoyed these mocha balls. The coffee flavor really shines through.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts. They turned out great!

These mocha balls were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but these balls were surprisingly good! The coffee flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the chocolate.

These mocha balls were the perfect dessert for my coffee-loving friends. They were rich, chocolatey, and had just the right amount of coffee flavor.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I found that the mixture was a bit too dry. I added a little bit of milk and it helped to bind everything together better.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and it gave the balls an extra layer of richness. Highly recommend!

These mocha balls were a huge hit at my holiday party! Their rich, chocolatey flavor and the hint of coffee were simply divine.
