Made two(2) batches for a party, and my husband is telling me the Margarita balls do not taste right,and he can't even taste the tajeuila. After checking out the recipe again, the lime juice or other sour ingredient is missing, lacking the taste in the margarita balls. will remake them adding lime.

I make these every Christmas to give as little gifts. I think the most important thing is to make them at least 4-5 days before you plan on serving them. Store in fridge. The longer they sit, the better they are. I also always add a little extra tequila to the mix!

These were okay. Didn't really taste like margarita's. In fact you couldn't really taste the tequila or the marmalade.

I thought this recipe was good, not amazing but good. I didn't have any problems with them being crumbly or dry. I used my blender to crush up the cookies very fine, and my pampered chef chopper to chop up my sliverd almonds. (I think getting these ingredients very fine is key) I added a shot of Grand Mariner (didn't have Contreau as suggested)and I used 6oz of white choc. (the whole box- hey why not the more chocolate the better right I dipped them in colored decorators sugar (green, pink & white) they were pretty & sparkley. Everyone loved them. I wraped them up in celophane and tied them w/ a pretty bow and put them in a fun martini glass (didnt ahve a margarita glass) and gave as gifts. they got rave reviews!!

These were just okay. Kind of dry and crumbly, even after having time to 'mellow'.

I used the back end of a large ladle to pulverize the wafers in the wax bag they came in - kept things from getting too messy. After considering other reviewers' comments, I elected to add a shot of Cointreau to the mixture (for additional moisture and more orange flavor). I found them to be delicious and the smell was wonderful. I also found that the mixture was easier to work with when making the balls on the smallish side, and to dip my fingertips in water about every ½ dozen or so (the extra moisture helps when forming them!) I'm bringing them to a Cinco de Mayo cocktail party tonight and will give a couple dozen of these as a hostess gift. Thanks for a unique and tasty treat.

These are so good! I was a little impatient when crushing the nilla wafers and nuts...make sure they are crushed as it is harder to form them into balls when there are big pieces of either!

Really not worth the effort and ingredients. It was sweet, but none of the flavor came through. I tried doubling the marmalade and the booze...but nothing. I was afraid to add more because they would be too mushy. Also added some lime juice and salt as a last desperate measure.

Just OK ... followed the recipe exactly ~ the balls ended up crumbly & a bit dry. I thought they would improve over time (like rum balls do) but they just ended up getting drier. I think these would be improved with more tequila & orange flavor ~ they didn't have any "oomph". Disappointing.

Made this for a house warming party & serious Tequila drinkers. This was a great hit and very easy to make. I used pecans instead of almonds.

They did not particularly taste like margaritas (no lime) to me but I thought they were scrumptious nonetheless. I think I prefer them to the usual rum ball recipe.
