Notes
To make a healthier version of these balls, decrease the amount of powdered sugar. The texture will be close to the same, but the taste will be less sweet.
Melt the honey and peanut butter in the microwave, in 25-second intervals, stirring in between.
Stir the melted peanut butter/honey with the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla.
Crush up your corn flakes!
Combine the oats with the corn flakes and stir into the peanut butter mixture.
Scoop into balls and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the balls to set. Enjoy!
The PERFECT snack for my PB lovin’ family! Love that these are simple, delicious, and can be taken on the go!!
