Ricotta Cheese Balls

I had half a tub of ricotta cheese left over in my refrigerator. I wanted to make something quick for the kids as a snack. I made these simple ricotta cheese balls  and both my kids and DH loved it. I made it very simple and you can add more vegetables or spices as per your taste.
