Stir gently and taking a good teaspoon roll mix into balls and put on flat tray lined with greaseproof paper and sprinkled well with the vermacelli.
Roll round gently and carefully place balls on a separate tray covered with greasproof. Leave until cold and set properly.

An update on the above. These were so delicious that I have now made another batch of 48. The first lot I had to ration hubby to one per night as he was making a pig of himself. Now been asked to make some as a pressy for a group of his old collegues who have lunch together once a month. He wonders why he is putting on weight) cheers Penny.
