Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

loof's Note:

This recipe came from a book called "The Meatball Cookbook Bible". These make a great snack. I like them best with regular plain granola but the kind with added dried fruit or nuts is great too!

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 2.0 dozen

• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 cups granola cereal
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest

Directions:

1. Whisk the peanut butter and honey in a large bowl. Add orange juice and zest and blend until smooth.
2. Add granola and stir with a spatula until well mixed. You can use a little more orange juice if necessary to make the mixture stay together.
3. Spray your hands with cooking spray. Form granola mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

these are simply wonderful! Messy to make so if you have kids they will love to help :) Just taste soooo good.

I was quite surprised at how much I loved the flavors of these cookies. I really thought the OJ would overtake the other flavors but I was quite wrong. The taste is so smooth and goes so well together. Easy to make is just another added benefit. Made for Zaar tags.

Great little gems these are. With the kids out of school, and with me around these were gone in no time. An interesting, yet, wonderful combination of flavors these had. These would be great for kids, as they are easy to make. Made for Prmr tag.
