Peanut butter, M&M’s, honey and chocolate chips all in one place was a big hit with my children. And let’s be honest, these are my husband’s favorites as well.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dry oats (either old fashioned oatmeal or quick cooking)
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup mini M&M’s
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- dash of salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
In a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients and stir to combine well. The mixture should be a bit sticky. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Use a spoon to scoop about a tablespoon of the cookie ball mixture into your hand. Roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. This should make about 12 oatmeal energy balls.
Store the balls covered in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for much longer.
