Moose Balls =)

The first time I had this oh so yummy treat was the day of our last exam of training.  Our classmate made these for everyone as “brain food” since most of us were too busy studying to get a healthy meal in our stomachs (if anything).  I wondered how she was able to find the time out of studying to make something so delicious without feeling bad for leaving the books.  Turns out that there’s really nothing to it (and you can study while mixing and rolling, lol.)

What's in these golf ball sized goodies?  The main ingredient and my number one addiction (next to dark chocolate)...Peanut Butter!!  You don't even have to tell me the rest, I will definitely give it a try.  These balls of peanutty goodness may not look like much, but your taste buds will tell you otherwise once you pop one in your mouth.  That’s how it was for me when she passed it around.  I thought, “oh, just one”.  But one turned into 3…or was it 4?  I can’t remember, all I know is that they’re super addicting, and healthy for you too!  What can be better than a snack that tastes amazing and is good for you?

I can take no credit for this recipe, as I adapted it from her.  I may have made a couple changes based on what I had on hand, but the main reason for these being in my freezer by bulk is my amazing co-worker, ^^.  Thanks Beth!
