Wonder Balls

These make a great healthy snack to keep on hand. Everyone will love them, kids, teenagers, and adults! I found the recipe here.

One Cup Peanut Butter
One Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Milled Flax Seed (Fiber!!!)
1/4 Cup chopped nuts (This is optional, but we like to add them. We use Almonds)
1/2 Cup of dried fruit (Our favorite is raisins and cranberries)
1/2 Cup of chocolate chips (I use whatever is on hand, milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, anything!)
2 Cups of Uncooked Oatmeal

Combine peanut butter and honey in a bowl. Add the oatmeal and flaxseed and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips, dried fruit and nuts. Now, you will have a big sticky blob of goodness. Using a spoon or your hands go ahead and make cookie dough balls out of them. Next, put them into tupperware. I stack them and use wax paper in between. Place them in your freezer. As they freeze they will lose most of their sticky-ness. We like to keep them in our freezer and pull them out one by one as snacks. You can also refrigerate them for a softer wonderball.
