Peanut Butter Balls?

I had some kind of Peanut Buter Ball about a month ago. It was some concoction of oats, peanut butter and chocolate.

If anyone knows a recipe for something similar I would appreciate it.

Thanks.


Now I have to go look at porn or something to balance out this Martha Stewart moment.

1/2 cup Nutella
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup raisins or sultanas
3 cups mixed oats or muesli

Mix butter, sugar, Nutella and honey in a pot and bring to the boil. Stir constantly, reduce heat and stir till sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in oats and raisins until well mixed. Press into a tray lined with cling wrap ( we call it gladwrap you call it saran wrap? ) and chill till firm. Cut into slices or cubes. May be frozen.

Ok, I am gonna be SO over weight after this baby is born.

Hopefully, it will be born on Christmas day, so I can miss most of the sweets.

Or... they can smuggle em in to the hospital!

 

[Debbie]

Hmmm, now just how am I going to smuggle some goodies to you in hospital?
Anyway I can always make some goodies that are sugar free. I've got lots of yummy recipes that are sweet but not too fattening.
