Peanut Butter Balls for Easter


Happy Easter! These are yummy, really easy to make and pretty healthy too. My sister gave me the recipe, but I think she may have gotten it from my mum since my family has been eating these on Easter for quite a few years.

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup dried coconut
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup soy/dairy milk powder
10-12 dried apricots, chopped
2 tbsp vanilla
1 medium size chocolate bar or chocolate chips

Method:

Mix all ingredients together (except chocolate) into a large bowl. Form into medium-sized balls, put on a plate or tray and set aside. Melt chocolate using a double-boiler. When chocolate has melted roll the peanut butter balls in chocolate until they are lightly coated.  Then put a sheet of wax paper on a tray and put into the freezer for at least two hours before serving.

*Best if kept in the freezer since the chocolate melts really quickly.

  1. These are so delicious! The substitution of dates and raisins for apricots adds a lot of flavor and extra sweetness! Definitely a nice treat for Easter and beyond :)
