Peanut Butter Balls was shared by a friend years ago and we have remade it often. Because it is no-bake, I have made it with my kindergarten class and our 4H group.
We use these sprouted oats purchased from Costco. Store them in the freezer if you use them infrequently. If you use a different brand, remember to look for “gluten free” as oats are often processed with other grains.
I do want to add this is not a Paleo recipes due to the oats and the peanut butter. However, sprouted grains are always better. Read more about why here.
Secondly, peanuts are technically in the legume family. We usually opt for almond butter. However, it is not cheap!

Notes
Peanut Butter Balls are a great recipe to do with your child!
Another good non-food activity is making a thankful jar together.
Click on the label to print for your own jar. Add what you are thankful for and fill up the jar. When you fill it up, go through and read a few each day as you take them out.
