My favorite in a pinch tip for making boobie balls is to use gloves while rolling the balls to make for easy clean up! Other than that, if you don't have one of the ingredients, it can likely be substituted for something else (see ideas in the section below).Boobie Balls Tips
Boobie balls are truly so easy to make, however, there are a couple tricks to make the job even simpler.- Do refrigerate the mixture prior to rolling into balls. Your boobie balls will turn out prettier and it will make your life much easier when rolling.
- Wearing gloves helps. I love wearing gloves when rolling the boobie balls so my hands don't get sticky and the balls turn out more uniform.
- Be sure to follow the mixing order in the instructions - this ensures all the ingredients are well-combined and there are no clumps (nobody wants a taste of clumped-up brewer's yeast - ick!).
