A colleague would make these to bring to work more than 20 years ago; I loved them then and still do now. This is a great appetizer for a garlic and artichoke lover.

These artichoke balls were delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper.

These artichoke balls were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted ground sunflower seeds for the bread crumbs. The artichoke balls still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and my artichoke balls turned out perfectly! They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

These artichoke balls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These artichoke balls were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the artichoke hearts and it made the process even faster.

These vegetarian artichoke balls were an absolute hit at my last dinner party! Everyone raved about the crispy exterior and the creamy, savory filling. I'll definitely be making them again soon.
