These balls of ambrosia are the ULTIMATE party appetizer. They are the height of gourmet with NONE of the fuss. You can assemble them in minutes, forget about them until guests arrive, then simply take them out of the refrigerator and serve to a resounding chorus of ooh's and aah's.

Paula and friends, this is the same appetizer video I originally submitted, but with the music removed so that you can consider it for the contest. I appreciate you taking the time to view it! Thanks, Linda
