These are seriously better than candy! I found this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago and decided to finally get around to making them this afternoon for the kids....except, that something went wrong...I'm not quite sure what, since the ingredient list is so small and I followed the directions?? I was left starring at a bowl of very dry...peanut butter dust....aside from the obvious moisture issue, this recipe was lacking a certain...pizzaz!
So, I improvised -- using this peanut butter dust to create something....well, magical....yes, magical! The 'bones' of the recipe were there, I just added a few things to bind the ingredients and send the flavor soaring!

CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER + MAPLE BITES
Makes Aprox. 25 Ping Pong Ball Sized Bites
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups Old Fashion Oats
1 1/2 cups Powdered Milk
1/2 cup Honey
1 cup Natural Peanut Butter
2 1/2 tsp Natural Maple Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup Water
DIRECTIONS:
Measure out the oats and place in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped. Add ground oats and all remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a spoon, or your hands, until well incorporated.
Next, form peanut butter mixture into balls -- I made mine roughly ping pong ball sized -- and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Once all of the balls are formed, place cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 min or until firm. Enjoy!
