Peanut Butter Cookie Balls
This soft and naturally sweet treat is perfect for a snack or dessert!
These are a just like Larabars- if you’ve ever heard of those before. They are simply made with two ingredients.
Did you know dates have a lot of nutritional benefits?
- High in fiber
- High in antioxidants
- Contain other vitamins and minerals: Potassium, Iron, Copper, Vitamin B6, and Magnesium
Not to mention these balls are made with peanuts that have the highest protein content of any nut!
These are great for make-ahead snacks. Store in the fridge for up to a week (if you don’t eat them all by then!)
I actually prefer them chilled rather than at room temperature.
