Kids love peanut butter balls, and they're great for a quick snack or pick-me-up. I never measure when I make these, I just dump it in and when it's the right texture and tastes good they're done. I put approximate measures for you to start out with.
1 c. organic peanut butter
1/4 c. honey (or agave syrup)
3/4 c. shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 c. currants (or raisins)
1/8 c. - 1/4 c. ground flax seed
1/4/ c. coconut milk powder (or arrowroot powder)
Mix the first two ingredients together, then add anything else in you want. The coconut milk powder is added last and is to make the mixture into a playdough texture rather than sticky. If you don't have coconut milk powder, use arrowroot powder instead. Roll into balls and store in the fridge. Or you can just flatten in a pan and cut into squares later after refrigerating.
Other things to add in:
Dried apple fiber powder
Chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, peanuts, etc)
Any other chopped dried fruits
Sprouted sunflower seeds
etc....
Make carob or cocoa peanut butter balls by adding 1-2 TBS of carob or cocoa powder to the mix before you add the coconut milk powder.
