Cheerie Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Boiled 1/2 cup honey & 2 tbsp packed brown sugar combination
Add 1/2 cup dark chocolate almond butter
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups honey-nut cheerios
Dash vanilla
Dash milled flax seed (I sneak flax seed to recipes when I can to keep the family regular-- shh!- works great in pancake batter & my morning shakes)

Combine all and stir well. Set aside for a few minutes to cool. With wet hands, form mixture into small balls (get the kiddos involved). Add more PB and/or honey if mixture is not sticking together. Transfer balls to a wax-paper lined container & refrigerate for a few minutes.

Almond butter is rich in Vitamin E and monounsaturated fat, which helps lower cholesterol. Almonds are high in calories, so do not eat the entire tray full of PB balls! As always eat in moderation.

They are part of the new Mediterranean diet.

And, don't forget your 100 naked jumping jacks! Enjoy!
