Hi, I can’t find almond meal, is almond flour ok?
I just made these but I put way more cherries in than what the recipe says as the mixture only tasted like coconut. However, now they are too soft and still only faintly taste like cherry. I can’t decide if they’re worth covering in chocolate!
I love these – so easy, so delicious and such a great little sweet snack. I have a bad habit of eating far too many in one go! Love it, thank you
Hi there, can you use strawberries instead?
