January 10: Protein Snacks

I found this recipe years ago when Food.com was still Recipezaar and have made it many, many times!  It's easy to make, easy to keep, and easy to eat!  The boys LOVE these peanut butter balls -- that's what we call them, though I still prefer my peanut butter ball to be covered in chocolate! :)

As I made this batch with Tysen, I realized that while it is easy for me to make, it's a little trickier for a kid.  The peanut butter and honey are messy, messy, messy!  Not that Ty minded, he really just wanted to eat spoonfuls of peanut butter (I wonder where he got that idea!?!) 

The original recipe says it yields 8 balls, but I usually roll them into 1-inch balls and we get 20 or more each time.  Beware, though, these don't last long!!!

Peanut Butter Balls (previously labeled "Protein Snacks")
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dry milk
1/4 cup sesame seed
1/4 cup honey

Mix all ingredients together and roll into balls.  Chill.  Enjoy!
