    Allow the graham balls to sit at room temperature for several minutes to allow them to warm slightly. This will help them to become softer. Dipping the balls in cold milk (dairy or plant-based) can also help to soften them.

    You don't have to add filling to the graham balls. However, without a filling, the graham balls will seem quite plain-tasting. A filling adds flavor and is the enjoyable part of this treat.

  • Question
    Can I use condensed milk as the filling?
    Qamar
    Top Answerer
    Condensed milk might be too watery as a filling unless it's thickened. Keep in mind that it may also over-sweeten the graham balls, since condensed milk is used to hold the graham balls together. Consider using another filling instead, as suggested above.
  • Question
    How do I make a chocolate dip for graham balls?
    Community Answer
    Get your chosen chocolate and break it into small pieces. Place the pieces in the microwave. Heat and check and stir at 30 second intervals until ready. Or, use a double boiler to melt it if you don't have a microwave. Once melted, dip the graham balls in and swirl to coat them. Remove and let dry on wax or parchment paper.
