[list_item]Slightly melting the peanut butter makes mixing MUCH easier, so start by warming the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds in a medium bowl.[/list_item]

A healthy version of a combination peanut butter ball/fudgy no-bake! That’s inspired, and they look delicious!
Thanks Greg! That they are.
I was a little concerned at first that the flax seed might be too overpowering, but my fear was completely unfounded. Mixes wonderfully!
Thanks for stopping by.

They look like meatballs. Now I want protein balls AND meatballs. Whoops.
Ha! ha! Yes, they sort of do. 🙂 Then again that first picture looks like something I’d never want to eat. Thanks for stopping by!

Would it be counterproductive to add rum to these? J/K They do look good. I might have to try these this weekend.
Rum? Hmmmm….perhaps…perhaps not. 🙂 It’s worth trying once.
They’re tasty little buggers! I’m going to make another batch tomorrow morning with dark chocolate bits in them. Epic YUM!
