Does anyone know of a good/healthy recipe for no bake PB balls?

I hope so! I love those things but they go straight to my hips.

A friend has made these for me when I hike. One batch was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, she didn't write down the recipe and never duplicated the incredible batch.

This one (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_25404,00.html) sounds good.
But there are a whole lot to choose from (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_25404,00.html)

These aren't balls, they are sticks. I don't see why you couldn't make them into balls:

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
3 Tbsp honey
2/3 cup corn flakes, crushed
1/3 cup fat-free dry milk

Knead ingredient together. Form into 6 sticks and wrap individually in wax paper.
Store in airtight container.

I like the idea of sticks. I could store the in the handlebars of the beater mountain bike I use for commuting. :)

If I were making them, without even looking at the recipe, I'd use non-sweetened coconut, and yeah, some rice crispies, or shredded wheat, or crushed corn, or GRAPE NUTS....and some honey, and some dried lowfat milk sounds healthy. Sure they are caloric, but very nutritious. Basically, anything nutritious 'goes to the hips' just as fast as anything that's junk. It's all calories.. right? So, why not eat healthy ones and not worry about it anymore.

I think that much grease would definitely void the warranty on your nice new carbon post :eek:.
