{recipe} Chocolate & Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls


I've been looking for a sweet but healthyish snack to make for the kids for after school. Here 'tis...I like to serve with fresh fruit.
Mr 3P thinks they taste like the Picnic chocolate bar.


Chocolate & Peanut Butter Oatmeal Balls
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup peanut butter...any kind you like
1/2 cup honey (I did 1/4c honey and 1/4c Golden Syrup)
2 tbsps   cocoa powder
1/4 up   raisins or sultanas (or other chopped, dried fruit.cranberries would be nice


Melt honey & peanut butter in a small saucepan till runny. Remove from the heat. 
Mix in the remaining ingredients, combining all together thoroughly. Roll into walnut sized  balls. 
Remove excess from fingers...you'll think of something ;)
Refrigerate.

{photo post} The Vineyard & Community Gardens

So, this is my first of probably many "photo only" posts. I'm a little lost for words at the moment, so  I thought I'd let the photos do the talking....it's what I love to do anyway. So, I hope you like lots of pics and few words. This album was taken a few days ago on my daily walk through the local community gardens and vinyard. I took these pics with my little pocket camera.
Hope you enjoy....
