No Bake Energy Balls

I really liked these. They were extremely easy and fast to make. Took me 15 minutes total. Most of that time was spent gathering ingredients and measuring. I'm not a huge peanut butter fan so I used almond butter. I was out of wheat germ so I used flax seeds. It made exactly 12 ping pong sized balls. They were a bit sticky and mushy so I popped them in the refrigerator. Once they were chilled they were firmer and not sticky. The cocoa powder gave them a bit of a bitter kick. Although unexpected I enjoyed it. If you're not a fan of bitter chocolate I would use milk chocolate powder. Under the bitter taste they were very sweet. I could only eat 2 before my stomach started to protest. They are surprisingly filling.

Delish! I used crunchy peanut butter and added more than a pinch of cinnamon. I just shook some in to taste, probably close to half of a tablespoon of cinnamon. Once it was all mixed in the extra cinnamon was not overpowering. I added the extra because I wanted to be able to taste the cinnamon and I thought it would get lost with just a pinch of it.

Just put them in fridge... I didn't have any wheat germ, so I substituted same amount of hemp seeds. Also rolled them in powdered sugar, so they wouldn't be as sticky. Recipe made 15 balls, could've been 16 if they were all uniform :).

I was a little too generous with the cocoa powder and forgot the vanilla so mine ended up a little dry. Will try again, excited to play around with this recipe.

Made these as written and they are so delicious! Easy to put together and even easier to eat. Now to just stay out of them!
