In an effort to slightly reduce the amount of packaged foods we consume, I've adapted this recipe from www.theorganicmomma.com Thank you!
These have replaced granola bars, energy bars and sometimes the desire for a cookie.. sometimes.. like in a pinch. Cookies cannot be replaced.
This is the foundation of the ball and I will include variations at the end of the recipe. Let me know your ideas and feedback.
I hope you love popping these balls in your mouth as much as I do.
~Enjoy
