These are easy, fast no bake healthy treats to have after school or for a quick snack on the go. They are so rich they are almost like truffles or cake balls for children, well except a lot healthier. The fun part is that you can add or subtract your favorite ingredients and make them special for every child or adult. This recipe has been adopted from Whole Foods Market.
You will need: 1cup peanut butter (or flavored peanut butter), 1/3 cup honey, 2 tsp cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/4 cup finally chopped hazelnuts.
Note- we used Honey flavored peanut butter and that was definitely too much honey, so stick with plain.
Place peanut butter, honey and cocoa powder into the bowl
mix well until incorporated
Add cranberries and 1/8 cup of coconut
Stir in chocolate chips
Mix well together and refigerate for 1 to 2 hours
In a three separate plates of bowls place remaining coconut, sesame seeds and nuts. Scoop up the dough and roll into 1 1/4 inch balls.
Roll them into desired toppings, coconut
sesame seeds
and nuts.
place the ball on a sheet or plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.
