  1. These are the best PB Nuggets I have ever eaten! I made these at midnight yday and had planned to save them for Mother's day for my mom. But, these were gone in seconds(thanks to the unexpected guests we had today)! I will have to make these in plenty from now on, seeing the way they vanished off the cookie plate, I kept wondering why didn't I make these delights before! They are so good. I must mention here that I used an additional 1/4 cup of corn flakes and an additional 1/2 cup of coconut. Thank you for sharing the recipe, it is just GREAT!
     
  2. I just finished making these, what a great recipe, so easy, and they look and taste really great. I think I must have been making them a bit too big, because my son comes in and pops one in his mouth, and is still chewing several minutes later. You know how peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth? Well it did, so he tries a drink of milk and that didn't work... Then we all start laughing and he is there laughing and chewing... I resized the ones I had made to a smaller size (don't want this happening to my guests!) and made all the rest tinier as well. In the smaller size they don't seem to have this effect. Thanks for the great diabetic recipe.
     
  3. wow..these are soooo goood...i made them for my peers at my university and they were such a hit!!! they are so easy to make and ooooh...soooo delicious!
     
  4. Fantastic!!! Every time I make it I get asked for the recipe. One person called them crack balls because she said they were addicting. I made them with chunky and creamy peanut butter and I thought the chunky peanut was much easier to work with.
     
  5. Very good diabetic treat. They were nice and crunchy. Will make again. Thanks for posting.

  1. I tried several diabetic cookie recopes over Thanksgiving, and I liked these! But if you are one of those who doesn't like people making changes, you can stop reading here. This is what I did: I used 1/2 c craisins (instead of coconut), creamy peanut butter (but next time I'll use crunchy because I like it better), 3/4 c bran cereal with 4 gr fiber per serving instead of cornflakes (good ol' fiber), and 2 tbl low cal pancake syrup. Final count for 18 cookies: 65 calories, 7.6 carb, 3.4 fat, and I gram fiber for one cookie, as figured by me and my calculator, which is subject to operator error at times.....I don't like artificial tasting stuff, and this was tasty.
     
  2. Yummy and easy! I made them with Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal. I also used natural peanut butter with honey already in it, so I ended up halving the amount of honey the recipe called for and they were the perfect amount of sweetness. I would think they would also be good with nuts instead of coconut. Great recipe!
     
  3. Super easy, quick cookie! I did double the recipe- it's really not worth the bother to make 18 cookies because they'll be gone so quickly!! I used cashew butter, and brown rice crispies instead of corn flakes. Then I rolled them in more coconut. Delicious!!
