Instructions
-
Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, dry milk powder, and honey. Use a spatula or a spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly until they form a smooth, cohesive mixture that is well combined and creamy in texture.
-
Crush the Cereal: Take your preferred cereal (any type you enjoy) and place it inside a plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or your hands, crush the cereal into fine crumbs. This adds a delightful texture to the peanut butter balls and enhances their flavor.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the cereal is crushed, add the raisins and the crushed cereal to the peanut butter mixture. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed, ensuring that the raisins and cereal are well coated with the peanut butter mixture.
-
Form the Balls: With clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a nickel. This is a fun and hands-on step, and it allows you to create perfectly bite-sized treats that are easy to grab on the go.
-
Add the Powdered Sugar (Optional): If desired, roll each ball in or sprinkle with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and to give them a delightful coating that enhances their visual appeal.
-
Storage: Store the finished Breakfast Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep well for up to two weeks. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to three months, making this recipe an excellent option for meal prep or snacking convenience.
Enjoy these delicious Breakfast Peanut Butter Balls as a nutritious breakfast option or a satisfying snack any time of the day. With their sweet and nutty flavor profile, they are sure to become a family favorite!
