Party Sausage Balls

This is a sausage ball recipe that we make every year for the holidays. My kids have a blast making the sausage balls and then watching them "boil". They are different than any I have ever tasted before. They have a candied sweet taste, but, with the sausage they have a definite zip. Hope you enjoy.
