The recipe calls for vanilla wafers; can I change that?

Yes, you can swap the vanilla wafers! Here are a few ideas you can use instead:

• Oreos
• Golden Oreos
• Shortbread Cookies
• Graham Crackers
• Flavored Wafer Cookies
• Butter Cookies
• Crushed Pretzels

I had this recipe once using a cake mix; why change it?

There is nothing wrong with the recipes that call for cake mix, but what makes this recipe for margarita balls stand out is the almond flour. It provides a subtle and delicious nutty flavor!

Do I have to use Tequila?

No, you can swap the tequila in this recipe! First, you can leave it out completely, but it will drastically change the flavor. Secondly, you can swap it with vodka, gin, or white rum. The choice is completely yours!
