Chocolate Oat Balls

Time for a treat! Ohhh, but there's a trick. Despite their chocolatey appearance and taste, these are mostly packed with oats, flax, almonds, and sunflower seeds. But you would never know! Great for an energy boost or on-the-go snack. My husband and I absolutely love these. I make them a few times a month, usually doubling (and sometimes tripling!) the recipe.

Ingredients

{This makes a small batch, about 6-8 balls}
1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almonds, crushed

1/8 cup ground flax seed

1/8 cup sunflower seeds

Directions

Melt peanut butter and honey in a pan over medium heat.
Add remaining ingredients.
*Note: to crush whole almonds, place them in a ziploc bag on a cutting board and crush with rolling pin.
Stir with spatula for a couple minutes to combine until chocolate thoroughly melts.
Remove from heat and let sit in pan at least 10 minutes to cool and harden a bit.
When it cools enough to touch, mold into balls. They will harden further as they sit for a while.
We store ours in an airtight container in the fridge.
