Good and Gooey Peanut Butter Balls
Vegetarian Recipe

This recipe requires no cooking, so whip up a batch while your other neatballs are baking. These are high in calcium, iron, and zinc, too!

Ingredients:
1/2 pound chunky peanut butter (almond or soy butter can also be used)
1/3 cup ground cold cereal (such as corn or bran flakes)
2 tablespoons wheat germ
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1-1/2 tablespoons chopped raisins
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (such as peanuts or walnuts)

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Combine until stiff and well mixed. Roll into 25 small balls and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Note: If desired, balls can be coated (by rolling) with sesame seeds, more chopped nuts, chopped dried fruit, or more ground cereal.
