These homemade treats are perfect for your child's lunch box and your kids will have a ball helping you shape them.
Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup 365 Organic Everyday Value™ Hullabaloo Mix or other favorite trail mix
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the oats and coconut on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter, honey and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the brown sugar has completely dissolved, stirring continuously so as to prevent scorching.
Add the toasted oats and coconut to the peanut butter mixture along with the trail mix and stir to combine. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Working with dampened hands, shape into 12 one-inch balls and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
