First of all, I want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS, friends! I hope you are all having a great time with your loved ones today! If not, well, you can always make today's featured Golden Blossom Honey recipe for a little pick-me-up :)
To tell the truth, I am a wee bit tired of all the holiday baking. I am also a wee bit tired of all the sugar filled desserts that have been coming our way since Thanksgiving. The thought of biting into another cookie or piece of pie just makes my stomach churn. We do have New Year's Eve coming up in less than a week away, and I know that I have to have some sweet snacks on hand for our yearly night or competitive board game playing. I've been saving this No-Bake Crispy Treat recipe to try during the holidays, but I think it's perfect for New Year's instead. Sweetened with natural ingredients like honey, raisins, and coconut, and not a lick of cane sugar, makes it a great treat when you are trying to come down from the holiday sugar buzz you've been floating on for the past month. No-bake makes it that much more better!
If you make these, I would recommend chilling in the fridge for about an hour before shaping into balls. Otherwise, they tend to be a bit too soft and don't hold the ball shape.
Ingredients
1 stick butter
2 eggs, beaten well
2 cups raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
1 package (7 ounces) flaked coconut

What are your New Year's Plans?
I love little bite balls like this. I make ones filled with protein often for breakfast time.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to all at your hall. Baking and chowing down can take its toll haha
ReplyDeleteLooks nom! I do prefer them truffles and balls in which the butter is melted with sugar or honey on the stove before being mixed with the crispies.
ReplyDeleteYep, we're on a sugar buzz too, and I've had my fill. I say that now... but the treats later today are going to be very tempting, I already know. ;)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you!!! Wishing you a blessed and super happy holiday. :)
I'm working on New Years :(
