Peanut Butter Bites

Submitted by Sister Jan L.
She brought these for the girls on the last morning of Girls Camp 2018

2 C. Peanut Butter
1 C. Honey

Blend honey and PB.

Add 7 C. Rolled Oats.
(Jan says...I don't like it real sweet or real soft, so I usually add more oats (about a cup or so).)

Then she adds whatever add-ins she wants.  For girls camp she did...
1 small bag unsweetened coconut
1 bag of mini M &M's
1 C. of trail mix (to taste)
1 C. craisins (to taste)
Sunflower seeds

You can really add whatever you want.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoons place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or in cupcake papers.  She puts hers in the freezer, then after they are frozen she puts them in baggies.  They will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks or in the freezer for about 6 months.
