These sweet treats are sooooooo healthy for you. They are slap full of protein. This is a great snack for the kids. I don't mind my children eating them...even 2 or 3 of them. Not to mention, they are easy and quick to put together.
Your kids will be asking for more and you will be gladly passing them out. I can't tell you how many batches I have made over the years.
Cafeteria Peanut Butter Balls
Put all ingredients (except baking chips)in a large size mixing bowl.
Mix with a hand mixer. Add baking chips and stir until chips are distributed throughout. (My youngest son doesn't like chocolate so, I make his with white chocolate chips)
Shape into balls. I used my little scoopy..to start and then finished shaping them with my hands. Put your peanut butter balls on a freezer safe cookie sheet. (lined with Non-Stick Reynolds foil or waxed paper)
Keep in freezer until firm. Once firm, put them in a Ziploc baggie and keep in the frig.

2 tablespoons wheat germ
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional) or

**I use regular size chocolate chips and white chocolate chips**
**If you use graham cracker crumbs..after you shape the balls, roll them in the graham cracker crumbs.**
Mix all together with hand mixer. Form into balls with hands and freeze on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper or non-stick foil until firm. Remove from freezer and store in a large zip lock bag in the refrigerator.
