Candy Balls
These balls of energy are easy to make and quite a popular snack around here!
You'll need:
1 medium banana
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon milled flax seed (optional)
your choice of toppings like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, cranberries, or raisins
Here's how:
In a medium bowl, mash together the banana and peanut butter. Stir in the wheat germ and flax seed. Roll individual tablespoons of the mixture into balls, then roll the balls in your choice of topping. Chill until firm, or like my kids do, eat them right away!
My choice toppings: coconut, mini semi-sweet chips, goji berries, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and crushed cashews
Girl's choice toppings: mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, and mini semi-sweet M&M's. (Chocolate and more chocolate!!)
Their toppings were bulk bin finds, and doubtfully vegan. Veganism is my vice. My job is to find ways to get my veggie girls to eat nutritiously. This one worked! Adjust your toppings accordingly.

love those and actually the way I'm feeling these days- I'm leaning towards the girls' toppings though more like vegan chocolate lentils vs the m&m's- yum!

Candy Balls are such a clever idea! I've been catching up on your posts and thought I would suggest looking for Pimenton, another name for smoked paprika.
Yummy!! I love your idea of candy balls.
These look great, and what a good way to get your kids to eat healthy. I'm going to try mine with coconut!
Hehe I have a funny picture in my head of you up to your ears in paper mache eggs!
Personally, I wouldn't mind it if I were up to my ears in those little candy balls of yours, so if you want to send some over...
