No Bake Oatmeal Peanut Balls

This is a treat for children when school's out. Not that my school's out, its just study break but I guess its about the same. Seeing that this recipe looks really easy (no bake!) and that I have all the ingredients at home, I decided to try for myself.


credits to crepesofwrath.

Ingredients:

2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 tablespoons peanut butter
3/4 cup confectioners' (icing/powdered) sugar

Your ingredients

Everything that's needed is inside. (oat at the bottom followed by white sugar, cocoa powder at the bottom right, peanut butter center left, butter top left, water and vanilla essence seeped into the mix)

Use your hands to mix into a dough. (I initially wanted to practice hygiene and used a spoon, but to no avail)

Using your hand is so much easier and more effective.

Doesnt this look like meatballs? Haha.




This looks like ondeh-ondeh now

Even when consumed at room temp, it taste great! Best of all, I did everything within 1 hour!

Steps:
1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, sugar and cocoa. With clean hands, mix in the water, vanilla, butter and peanut butter to form a dough.

2. Wash your hands, then roll the dough into balls 1 to 2 inches in diameter.(The size is dependent of personal preference).Sift the powdered sugar before rolling the balls in it until thickly coated. Spam the remaining icing sugar all over the balls.

3. Chill on a baking sheet in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Makes around 25-30 balls. (I had about 40 balls cause I made mine smaller)

SCHOOL'S OUT AT: taste and tell
