Peanut Butter Crunch Snack Balls

I really have a lot of recipes to post! It's because my life revolves around food when I'm pregnant.

Jamie and Bekah tried these while they were out here and wanted me to post the recipe, and I was planning on it anyway. This is one of those perfect snacks I like to eat to satisfy my cravings for junk food, especially when I want cookie dough!

This makes a huge batch, even when you half the recipe, but they freeze really well. Take a couple of them out of the freezer and let them sit for a few minutes and they are the perfect consistency.

Next time I will also make some of them into much smaller balls so Alta will eat them (I don't think she liked having to take bites of them).

Makes about 120 balls. (I halved the recipe but still ended up with about 80 balls.)

2 cups honey
6 cups peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, I also used part omega-3-fortified peanut butter)
3 cups rice krispies
1½ cups grape nuts
3/4 cup applesauce
2 cups coconut
3 cups crushed cereal (use whatever is in your pantry-I think I used cheerios and chex)
1½ cups chocolate or butterscotch chips – or substitute dried fruit, like raisins (I used both mini chocolate chips and raisins)
5-8 tablespoons powdered milk
4 cups crushed mini-wheat cereal

Mix all but last two ingredients and mix until well combined. Add powdered milk, like flour, to make a soft, cookie-like dough. Form into 1” ball and roll in crushed mini-wheats. A scoop works very well for this. Refrigerate or freeze.
