As a mom, I'm always on the hunt for healthy treats. My kids love to snack on treats, of course, but I prefer for them to have something a little healthier when possible. This treat covers that for me! Plus they are quick - I made a batch of 20 balls in about 10 minutes. I am looking forward to including these treats in the kids' lunch boxes this year.
What you need:
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
What you do:
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix until well-combined.
- Roll mixture into 1 to 2 inch sized balls and place on a plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm them up.
- Watch them disappear!
Store these in a sealed container in the refrigerator -- if you have any left over.
