Ingredients | Airheads Xtremes Sweetly Sour Candy Belts

2 sleeves crackers (such as Keebler® Town House®), crumbled

1 ½ cups pecan meal

1 ½ cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup sweet onion, minced

¼ cup finely chopped fresh spinach

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

6 large eggs eggs, beaten

½ cup vegetable oil for frying

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (10 ounce) jar grape jelly

1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce (such as Heinz®)

Directions

Toss cracker crumbs and pecan meal together in a large bowl. Add Colby-Jack cheese, onion, spinach, garlic, parsley, poultry seasoning, and salt. Beat the eggs together in a bowl; incorporate into the mixture.

Form meatballs using a 1-inch cookie scoop. Roll smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer. Drop meatballs gently into the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add grape jelly and stir gently until it's completely melted. Stir in chili sauce until well combined. Add cooked meatballs and stir to coat. Heat through, about 5 minutes. Serve.

These meatballs freeze beautifully by themselves and can be tossed into spaghetti sauce or Stroganoff. Thaw meatballs before adding to the sauce.

Using fresh herbs bring the flavor of these vegetarian sweet and sour meatballs to life. The Town House(R) crackers bring a buttery flavor to the meatballs.

Before rolling the balls smooth, wet your hands with water and the mixture won't stick to your hands!

The longer the vegetarian sweet and sour meatballs stay over a heat source, the thicker the sweet and sour sauce will become.
