For a deeper walnut flavor, lightly toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding them to the dough. Be careful not to burn them! If the dough is too dry to form balls, add a teaspoon of milk or water at a time until it comes together. Store the walnut balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
