Toffee Snowballs (Russian Teacakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies) image

A tasty twist on a traditional treat. A friend passed on the recipe she had found online. I tweaked it to fit what I had in the pantry. The original recipe called for chopped Heath bars instead of the toffee bits and mini chocolate chips.
