Peanut Butter Balls

I have heard of Peanut Butter Cookies and Peanut Butter Play dough, but not of Peanut Butter Balls. I was surfing the net for some great kids cooking information, when I came across this cool recipe. I found the recipe at AmazingMoms.com.

No Bake Peanut Butter Balls

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup crushed corn flakes cereal
2 tablespoons powdered milk
Set corn flakes aside.
Mix all other ingredients well.
Roll into balls.
Then roll again in Cornflakes until covered.
Refrigerate leftovers!!
Yummy Snack! Great with milk !

This recipe sounds fast, easy, and something my kids would have fun making.

As I continued to surf the net for Peanut Butter Balls, I found two more recipes that were slightly different.

This recipe is from cdkitchen.

The other recipe I found at everything2.

No bake peanut butter balls
The three ingredients:
1 1/4 cup peanut butter (either smooth or crunchy)
1 1/4 cup dry milk
3/4 cup honey
Measure the dry milk and put into the bowl. Next, pour (or squeeze, if you’re using a honey bear) the honey into the measuring cup; add to bowl. Grab your spoon and glop the peanut butter into the measuring cup; add to bowl. Mix thoroughly.

If you haven’t already, wash your hands. Spray a little of the cooking spray onto your hands; use enough to make your hands greasy but not dripping.

Plunge your hands into the mixing bowl and grab enough of the mix to form an approximately 1 inch ball. (This is why you want the cooking spray on your hands, it makes it a little easier to roll the mix.) Put ball onto waxed paper, repeat until the mix is gone (add cooking spray to your hands as necessary).

Put the waxed paper containing the balls of peanutty goodness into the refrigerator, let chill for at least half an hour before eating. Store in refrigerator.

Each recipe is slightly different. So depending on the ingredients you have on hand that day, may depend on what recipe you use.

When you try them out, please let me know what your thoughts are on these scrumptious little treats.
