Bouncier Balls!

A few weeks ago one of our FAT-SCRAPPERS (Apple) introduced us to Bounce Balls, a nutritious nutty snack which she found on sale in the juice bar in town. Having tasted them I thought that I could come up with something equally tasty, easy to make and cheaper so here is my first attempt..And I have to say, I think they are even nicer!!

1/2 cup Almonds
1/2 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon tahini
1/2 cup dried fruit (I used sultanas)

Place nuts in food processor and chop till finely ground (or you could use ground almonds and/or chopped nuts)
Add dried fruit
Mix together with peanut butter and tahini.
Shape into 6 balls

Enjoy!

Alternative versions

  • Mix ground almonds with some peanut butter and tahini and dried fruit and add some almond extract.
  • Add seeds to mixture before shaping
  • Add cocoa powder to mixture before shaping
  • Roll balls in cocoa powder
  • Roll balls in melted 70% cocoa chocolate
