Talking about after school snacks reminded me of this classic recipe for healthy peanut butter “candy”

Peanut Butter “Candy”

1 C Powdered Milk
1/2 C Honey
1/2 C Peanut Butter

Mix all ingredients together and roll into balls.  Store in refridgerator.

Variations:

Add into the mix, or roll completed balls in up to 1/2 C of: crushed graham cracker crumbs, crushed cereal, flake coconut

Out of Honey? Try cornsyrup*, molasses or even maple syrup-whichever is plentiful & inexpensive for you.

Add 2 tablespoons raisins, dried cranberries, dried apple, chopped nuts, sesame seeds, or mini chocolate chips

Sneak in some wheat germ-they won’t even notice!

Add 1tsp vanilla

Add 1/4 tsp cinnamon

*Yes, I know, cornsyrup may possibly be evil.

  1. Ooooooooh! I can’t wait to make these! The toddler loves peanut butter and these would definitely be less messy than PB on crackers.

    In slightly altered quantities (closer to 2:1:1) this makes a great edible play doh recipe!

    My daughter absolutely loves these. She has a 14 yr. old boy now, when he was 5 we made them. He did not like that you had to use your hands to roll em up. lolol
