Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Make the mixture
Finely chop or grate the honey cake layers and mix with the ground walnuts. Beat the butter with the dulce de leche, add the honey, and combine everything into a mixture that holds together.
Chill until firm
Refrigerate the mixture until firm enough to shape into balls.
Shape the balls
Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls and roll them in the chopped nuts. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Tip: If the mixture sticks to your hands, dampen your palms with cold water. The balls are easier to serve in paper candy cups.
