    That's like how my protein 'bars' turned out – similar ingredients as well. They are more of a ball since they don't harden the same way commercially processed ones do. I got the recipe from a thread here on MFP and don’t recommend it unless you like eating goo – fortunately I’m ok with it ;)

    What type of peanut butter did you use?

    When I make them with PB I use regular Kraft smooth PB and when I make them with AB I use Maranatha Natural AB (no salt, roasted).

    Thank you for this. We use to make these peanut balls in school when I was a little girl. This took me way back! I'm going to make them for my kids.

    Made them this morning, I quadrupled the reciepe to make 12 balls- but ended up with 15 so 45 cals each. Yummy- perfect little sweet treat.
