Delish! Really tasty and so easy to put together. I made a double batch because I knew I was going to love 'em. I used a combination of both almonds and cashews and veganized it by using agave nectar instead of honey. I will make this again for sure. Made for the vegetarian/vegan recipe swap.

I made these for a snack for lunch tomorrow. The ingredients were things I already had on hand, and they went together easily.

Easy and good! But it's kind of funny that I don't like the first bite because of the sesame seeds, but after the first bite I don't taste sesame seeds anymore and I really like the balls. Weird, huh? I used puffed millet because I had some and cashews. It's all pantry stuff for me which is nice. Reviewed for ZWT4.

I loved these! They remind me of skillet cookies that we used to make for Christmas when I was a kid. I used a puffed seven grain cereal as I could not find puffed wheat anywhere--otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. I wet my hands with water periodically to keep the mixture from sticking as I formed it into balls. I used a heaping teaspoon to form walnut sized balls. The recipe yielded 20 balls. Made and reviewed for ZWT4.
