Hi there. I have just made these for the first time. Would you be able to give me the weight per ball? I used the smallest scoop I had and only got 12. There was a fair amount of inaccessible waste in my Vitamix so I probably could have scooped out another ball. Next time it will definitely be a food processor recipe. Thank you.

Use your scoop but put a little less in each…the goal is to get 16 mini balls. You are close! 😉
