Notes

If you have a cookie dough scoop, it can be used to form the balls and isn't as messy as using your hands. The scoops would just have a flat bottom which they tend to have anyway when placing on the lined baking sheet.
White chocolate baking chips and white chocolate hazelnut spread (both available from ChocZero) can be used for white chocolate hazelnut candy balls!
