Glancing at the ingredients, you could say I was pretty skeptical these would taste anything like cookie dough. But they really do!! The cinnamon-vanilla flavoring combined with the sweetness of the honey really compliments the nut/oat mixture which somehow... amazingly... translates to that yummy cookie dough taste we all know and love! Now we finally have another healthy ball to snack on besides these Chocolate Oat Balls. YUM!

mmmm these look so good!
ReplyDeleteI saw these on pinterest and didn't believe it. I am so excited to try these now! YAY!
ReplyDeleteYUM YUM YUM! I'm assuming I need to thaw them before eating them? Or I may have a spendy dental bill on my hands! A great alternative for the boys! Thanks so much Kaitlin!
ReplyDeleteNo need to thaw before eating - they don't actually harden when you freeze them. (Although the chocolate chips get harder so tell your boys to go easy on those!) I think they taste best right out of the freezer :)
