I usually use one ingredient for most everything I make, but this is only partially from scratch, as it contains Cheerios. I had generic cheerios for trial mix and happened to notice a recipe on the side of the box. Oh my. These are good. Except they are called Super Energy Balls on the box. That's a weird name, so we call them Coconut Peanutbutter Crunch Bars. Great snacks for on the run. Here's the recipe!
Coconut Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
1 C peanut butter
2 T butter, melted
1/2 C honey (although I used a little less and they were still good!)
1/2 C. non fat dry milk powder
1/2 C. raisins
2 C. cheerios
1/2 c. flaked coconut
Mix peanutbutter, butter, honey, milk powder. Stir in raisins and cheerios. Form balls and roll in flaked coconut. Store in the fridge.
I have been searching for this recipe for Years!
ReplyDeleteI do recall that they were on a box of generic O's I'd gotten from Fry's (Tucson's Kroger).
They were great but the name "Super Energy Balls" kinda throws you off.
We omitted the powdered milk, as we didn't have any on hand, and the second time we made them we used honey O's so we didn't need the actual honey.
There are so many possible variations of this treat.
I say, Let your imagination soar
