On-the-Go Cereal Balls

Makes 6 balls (6 servings)

• 3 cups of your favorite cereal
• ¾ cup peanut butter or other nut butter
• ¾ cup nonfat powdered milk (see Chef’s Note)
• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup chopped dried fruit (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Lightly crush the cereal in a medium bowl, and then add the peanut butter, powdered milk, honey, dried fruit, if using, and vanilla. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated.

2. Use your hands to shape the mixture into 6 balls. Eat right away, or refrigerate, covered, until ready to eat.

Chef’s Note

Powdered milk is made by dehydrating (removing the water from) liquid milk. This form of milk has many uses, but in a recipe like this, it helps hold all of the pieces together. You can find powdered milk at your grocery store.
