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 refrigerator.
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, corn syrup may possibly be evil.

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
wow, this sounds so yummy! Can’t wait to try it out this weekend
