Peanut Butter Balls

For the August installment of Matt's birthday present, I made an old family favorite. Easy as can be and delicious.

Mix together:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Add 1 cup dry cereal. I use Erewhon crispy brown rice.

Mix together well and roll into balls.
You may roll some in coconut or powdered sugar; add a few chocolate chips or leave them plain.

  6. Great idea, Donna!

    Lisa, they are perfect!

    Sherri, does your recipe call for dry milk? That's another recipe I have. No cereal or vanilla.

    Chris, you can't go wrong!

    Rocketgirl, now you won't have to wait till Christmas!

  7. These are especially good to make this time of year--no baking in the oven and heating up the kitchen! --Catherine Mary

  9. Catherine Mary, you've done it again! I've been thinking about you lately and here you are. :<) That's exactly why I chose the PB Balls for this month's present. It has been so very hot. Cooler now, but muggy still.

    Sallie, I hope you get a chance to make them!

  10. Simple and great recipe. It would be perfect for children to make.

    Sadly, I am deathly allergic to peanuts, which were once my favorite food. but, I will pass this on to others.

    Thanks dear,
