Wow, very easy and very tasty! I am not a fan of Chorizo and happen to have some ground pork sausage, so I used that instead. I used just under half a pound. I really wanted to add some crushed red pepper to spice them up, but I was afraid my kids wouldn't eat them. However, I have some yummy raspberry chipotle sauce that I dipped them in and that did add some spice. I desperately wanted to add some grated cheese to the mix, but wanted to stick to the recipe this time, next time I will. The dough is smooth and sticky, I think you could pretty much add whatever yummy preference you would like and it would work out great. They are very reminiscent to sausage cheese balls, an appetizer I grew up with in Texas. They took about half an hour at 400 here, but I am at a high altitude. I did make them using my food processor, but next time I will use my kitchenaid mixer and there will definately be a next time! Thank you Aunty Dotty!
