CARE BEAR'S PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Mix granola, powdered milk, brown sugar and raisins (if using) until well-combined. Mixture should be white and chunky.
• Stir in peanut butter, mix well. This must be done by hand - using a wooden spoon will make it easier to combine.
• Once the ingredients are well incorporated, refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour. Otherwise it will be too sticky to roll.
• After at least an hour, roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls (approx 1 tblsp.). Roll in one or more of the following: sesame seeds, mini-chocolate chips, shredded coconut or roasted sunflower seeds.
• Place balls on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 4-6 hours. After that you can store them in an airtight container (in the fridge.) These will keep for weeks (if they last that long!).
