Peanut Butter Power Balls with Brown Rice Crispies, Dried Cranberries, Quinoa & Dark Chocolate3/9/2019
I've been wanting to make power balls with crispy rice cereal ever since my hair dresser and friend Erin sent me home with some she had made after my appointment one day. We were laughing pretty hard because she had rolled them in kosher salt and then "salty balls" were born. If you can't laugh at that, are you even really living?? They were really good BTW, and yes quite salty.
This recipe unintentionally reminds me of the peanut butter chocolate cherry balls my mother makes. Go figure! I think you could switch up the ingredients depending what you had in your pantry no problem. Different dried fruit, nut butters, seeds etc. I almost rolled them in toasted coconut after dipping them in chocolate but wasn't feeling it. It would be delicious though. I wanted to add quinoa flour to these because I read that quinoa is a complete protein. Something to consider if you follow a plant based diet. I need to start paying more attention to this for sure.
