What is the per person portion? I see that the recipe yields 21 balls but I’m not clear on how many people this is meant for.
Based on the calories of the ingredients, and the fact it is saying 80 calories in the nutritional information, the serving size is probably 2 pieces.
What is the portion?
What is the portion would like to try these but need to know how many per portion.
Serving size please!!??
