Holy Geez!


These are some delicious balls! We are close to food shopping day, which means we are low on everything, and completely out of sweet snacks for school lunches. So I raided the pantry to see what we had in hand for some homemade treats. While I've done this before, it doesn't usually go well. Even when I follow directions exactly, the treats just don't come out quite right. But when I saw the recipe for these no bake cookie balls, a) the kids got excited, b) there were only 4 ingredients, and c)

I didn't have to bake them. So I figured it was a go!

Surprisingly (to everyone), they came out really well. They are relatively healthy, if not low calorie, and delicious. Just cashews, oatmeal, agave, and chocolate chips. They are even better after being in the fridge for a while.

I got the recipe here. It is a blog that I often read. Although most of her recent recipes are deserts, her site also contains a lot of healthy dinner/snack ideas, too.

I love finding a new recipe that is a keeper!
