Let's Make Peanut Butter Balls!
Cooking with grandma should be fun, not complicated. Recipes with opportunities for the child to measure, pour, mix and generally dig right in are the best and the ones that your grandchild will ask to make with you time and time again. Cooking with Grandma can also be an opportunity to introduce a child to snacks with healthy ingredients. This recipe fills the bill on all counts. It is a nutritious treat that even a preschooler can put together without much help. It doesn't require any cooking, it's filled with healthy ingredients, and children of all ages love to make it and eat it
Nona's Peanut Butter Balls Ingredients :
1/2 cup of creamy style peanut butter
1/2 cup of powdered milk
1/2 cup of honey
3/4 cup of wheat germ
First combine the peanut butter, wheat germ, powdered milk and honey in a bowl.
Pull off walnut sized pieces, roll them into balls, and put onto waxed paper.
Refrigerate until firm.
(Makes about one dozen balls)
Try making them with different nut butters or different flavors of honey for a little variation. These snacks are also great to pop into a lunch box, but should be refrigerated for long term storage. Mangia!
