NOTES:

* A delicious appetizer or vegetable dish -- I learned this recipe from my mother. I think she originally found it in the "Troy (NY) Times Record". Yield: Serves 12-20.

* These can be made up ahead of time and frozen. If frozen, increase cooking time by 10-15 minutes.

* Herb stuffing mix is a commercial preparation of bread crumbs and herbs and seasonings that is packaged for stuffing a turkey or chicken. You can make your own if you like.

* This recipe makes about 80 appetizer-size balls, or about 40 larger balls to use as a vegetable dish at a meal.
