Energy Balls

We make these as a good snack for those sweet tooth kind of days. They seem to go on lots of camping trips and travel well (you do need to keep them cool). Adaptable!

1/2 cup of a nut butter (we use almond mostly)
1/4 cup of molasses (I skimp here)
1/4 cup of honey (I skimp here too)
1 cup of almond meal or other dry item like milk powder, protein powders, ground flax
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup of dried fruit, nuts, coconut, seeds of your choice
more almond meal, sesame seeds, coconut, finely chopped nuts to coat

Stir together nut butter, molasses, honey, almond meal and vanilla. After it is well mixed stir in dried fruit/nuts. Roll into balls of whatever snack size you want. Coat with the meal/seeds to keep from sticking together. Keep in refrigerator and enjoy!
