No Bake Goo Balls
Rice Krispies mixed with honey, peanut butter and vanilla extract then rolled into a ball for a healthier version of Rice Krispie Treats. Not nearly as sweet as the Rice Krispie Treats but still a fabulous treat.
I learned of Goo Balls from a fellow blogger http://www.hunidasblog.com.
After searching the web I found a recipe from http://www.recipelion.com.
Ingredients
In a medium pan add the
peanut butter and honey.
Stir well then cook over medium heat,
stirring constantly, until the mixture
comes to a boil. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the Rice Krispies into the pan
and gently toss until the Rice
Krispies are completely coated.
Once the mixture is cool enough to hold,
roll it into small balls and place on waxed
paper to cool and set up then serve.
Store in an airtight container.
My 5 year old grandson asked if he and
his sister could make snowmen out of it.
I thought that would be fun so here is
a picture of their masterpiece.

I make peanut butter rice krispie squares that are very similar. I use corn syrup instead of honey and put them in a pan. I bet the kids would like balls. These have been a favourite of my family for years.

Yes I saw where it is made with corn syrup too, but I wanted to try and make it healthier with the honey. I don’t do very much heathy..lol They were very good.

Thank you dear as that was what we did as children with oat flakes and chocolate. Yes love your version but will have use cornflakes as here no such thing as rice crispies as yet but with so many American troops here building army camps on Russian front maybe we will be graced even with beef steaks soon.
