Note from Christian: These are really good and my boys enjoyed helping make them. I snuck some flax seed and vitamins in them and used the Wilton sprinkles instead of sesame seeds. I also used the GFCFSF chocolate chips from
soyfreesales.com.
1 cup organic peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
2 tsp carob powder or unsweetened organic cocoa powder
1/2 cup organic raisins
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded organic coconut, divided
1/2 cup organic chocolate chips
1/4 cup organic sesame seeds
1/4 cup finely chopped organic nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
Recipe
Before measuring the peanut butter, stir it up well.
Mix the peanut butter, honey and carob or cocoa powder until well combined. Stir in the raisins and only 1/8 cup of the coconut. Stir in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Place the remaining coconut, sesame seeds and nuts into 3 separate bowls. Using a spoon, scoop small heaps of the peanut mixture from the bowl; roll into 11/4-inch balls. Rolling is easier if you form a rough ball, roll in the coconut, and then continue rolling into a more perfect shape. Roll each finished ball in more coconut, sesame seeds and chopped nuts. Arrange the balls on a plate, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
