Mudballs In The Houuuuuuse

And now, I invite you all to see just how classy we really are.
This has nothing to do with food.  I just felt like torturing Jenny today.  Your welcome.

I made mudballs this week.  They were surprisingly sweet and nutty.  Originally I thought of them as more of a granola bar type snack but after tasting them, I would definitely consider them a dessert food.  In fact, you could probably cut some of the honey out and they would be just as good.    

Mudballs (illustration compliments of my iphone)

1/4 cup peanut butter or sun butter
1/4 cup honey (I'd use less)
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds

Combine wheat germ, oatmeal, and sesame seeds in medium mixing bowl.  Set aside.  Cook peanut butter and honey in small sauce pan until melted.  Stir in chocolate chips.  mix with spoon until chips are melted, smooth and well incorporated.  Combine peanut butter mixture with remaining dry ingredients in bowl.  Mix well and form into balls.  Let sit for 2 hours or until completely cool.  Store in airtight container at room temperature.
