A MOINK Ball is just a bacon wrapped meatball, why did I think there was more to it than that?
 
Help a brother out here...
Well, it's a little more than that -

According to the recipe by Larry Gaian (the certifier) you also need to introduce some BBQ sauce to the bacon wrapped italian meatballs and coat it with Raspberry Balsamic Chipotle Glaze in the last 15 minutes.

Here's THE LINK to an article that contains the complete recipe.

Thank you for that link, I was not successful when looking for specifics on the MOINK. My comment was based on what I saw Crazy Harry put together, didn't add up......Congrats on the article Larry, very nice.
 
I too request MOINK ball certification.

Moink balls have been one of my favorite snacks since the first time I had the pleasure of tasting a neighbor's at a competition. (No jokes about my neighbor's balls, please) Since then, I've been making them almost every time I have an overnight cook. I would love to be called certified...or is that certifiable? Anyway, does this qualify? :becky:
 
i too seek MOINK ball certification.
they couldn't have been more enjoyed...
and the pron.
