Ingredients
¼ cup Honey
¼ cup Peanut butter
½ cup Non-fat dry milk powder
½ cup Cereal, crushed into fine crumbs
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey and peanut butter, stirring until well blended and smooth.
Gradually sprinkle the dry milk powder into the honey-peanut butter mixture, stirring constantly to incorporate. Mix until the mixture becomes thick and uniform.
Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until it is firm enough to handle.
Lightly coat your hands with a neutral oil or cooking spray. Scoop small portions of the chilled mixture and roll between your palms to form smooth balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the crushed cereal in a shallow dish. Roll each ball in the cereal crumbs, turning gently to coat all sides evenly.
Return the coated balls to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely firm.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Refrigerate within 2 hours of making.
Comments
Honey Milk Balls are dead-simple no-bake confections that check nearly every box for a Charlotte cook: all four ingredients are stocked at any major chain, cost less than $1.50 per serving combined, and require only 15 minutes of actual hands-on mixing and rolling—the stated 90 minutes is inflated by chilling time, though you'll want it. The recipe is fussy-free, needs zero attention once rolled, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for days. The only mild drawback is that 20 small balls are more of a snack or dessert addition than a meaningful meal, and cereal choice (quantity and type vary wildly) can shift both texture and flavor unpredictably if not specified.
