Honey Milk Balls

I was wondering why the honey milk balls I prepared were grainy. I think that
maybe it was because the milk powder I used was not powdery but more
like the texture of cornmeal. Regardless, these are easy to make although ~Tasty~ didn't like them. Again, I think it was a texture thing and not the fault of the recipe. I slightly warmed the honey to make it easier to mix with the other ingredients. I used a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough, then rolled the honey-milk balls in oiled hands. Placed them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Very easily adaptable for substituting other seed or nut butters. I added a small amount of ground cinnamon and vanilla powder-about 1/4 teaspoon of each. Reviewed for Veg Tag/October.

Sorry but these didn't work out for me. I made them while hosting a play date and had the kids mix them with their hands. If I were to make them again I would just have them stir them with a spoon. It was VERY messy and I think a lot of the ingredients were lost on their hands. Also I was surprised at how sweet these were since another reviewer had said they were not as sweet as other cookies. For me the sweetness was overpowering.

Can't believe I forgot to rate this. I've been making these for a couple years now and absolutely love them! They're healthy, simple and fantastic for nights where you just can't stand the oven. They keep well thanks to the powdered milk. I featured these as part of my Christmas cookie gift tins last year and everyone seemed to love them as the only option that wasn't "sugar overload." They're also very versatile - you can add or sub just about anything. I've added cinnamon and sesame seeds to one batch, and just now I tried cocoa powder and crunchy peanut butter like some of the other reviewers. Trying very hard not to eat the entire counter's worth. Thanks so much for sharing!

3 stars... Very easy and fast and tasted pretty good, but I didn't like the texture the dry milk gave them, and they were a little too much like eating just peanut butter for me. Adding a little cocoa helped some. I used crunchy peanut butter... liked that extra bite.

Yummy! Made some changes though. I would never again let the kids mix this it was a mess! It was so messy they didn't even want to continue! I would mix it first next time and then let them make the balls... I used my food processor to grind the oats so the kids wouldn't know it was there! I didn't have powdered milk so I used powdered cocoa. It tasted just like a chocolate power bar! I might try coconut next time too!

I make these for my kids and they love them! The only change is that I grind the oats into powder in my blender first.

turned out rather too dry, also tastes more like peanut butter then anything else. added 3 Tbs of water and 3 Tbs of cocoa powder. still very sticky but fairly tasty. chilled to stabilize them

These are awesome! I'm licking the bowl right now. I ran out of honey so I used half honey and half molassas. Boy am I glad I did! Thank you for the recipe.

I cant stop eating these they are so nice. My mixture was very crumbly so I moistened my hands with water when rolling them into balls and that seemed to work. I also rolled them in coconut, thanx for posting.

I've tried other PB balls, but this is the best one yet & totally suits my diet needs. I used natural PB, quick oats & nonfat dry milk. Tasted great! They really don't need to be chilled to taste good, but I put mine in the fridge anyway. Thanks; this is a keeper!

Nice, simple recipe, and great for peanut butter lovers like me. :) It is also a good one for children to make. I followed the recipe (used old-fashioned oats) and ended up with 32 balls. This was one of my choices for the Pick A Chef game. Thanks for posting!

For an added flavor, roll each ball into shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts. I also used a low carb peanut butter with excellent results!!

This is yummy! I have enjoyed making, eating and serving this to my friends in Oman and they've all borrowed the recipe. I like this cos of the quickness of putting this together.
