These are really delicious. I made a big batch of them yesterday and my DH took 1/2 the recipe to work with him. I love the crunchy, peanutty sweetness of these treats!

Time 17m

Yield 24 balls, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup cacao, nibs (ground fine)
1/2 cup almond meal (I roasted slivered almonds and ground them up)
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
5 cups corn flakes (I used organic amaranth, oat bran flakes and blue corn flakes)

Steps:

  • Put the agave nectar in a large microwave bowl.
  • Grind up your cacao and almonds separately. You can also use unsweetened coco powder and almond meal in this if you don't have the raw cacao and almonds.
  • Add the cacao and almonds to the agave nectar. Stir well. Add the cornflakes and mix to coat.
  • Put the whole thing into your food processor. Pulse until you have a rough mixture. Open the lid and taste it. It should be fairly sweet. If you want more sweetness add a little more agave, but not too much, you don't want this to be runny.
  • Put into your microwave safe bowl and heat for about 2 minutes until warm.
  • Roll into balls and put on a wax paper covered cookie sheet and refrigerate until set.
  • I put mine in a plastic container and returned to the fridge.
  • Bon Appetit!
