Bon Bons

These are perfect little healthy balls of goodness you can snack on all day long. When I first gave one to my daughter, Ada, she said, “Cake!” Now she calls them bon bon which is French for candy. Her Papa taught her that one!

In fact, as I uploaded these pictures, Ada came up and exclaimed, “Bon bon!” So I went and grabbed one out of the fridge for her. And one for me too.

These are the healthiest bon bons around!

Update for 2019: we have made these countless times over the years! Today is the first day that Ada, age 9, made them all by herself. They are a staple in our house!

These are the perfect healthy snack to keep in the fridge for snack time!

Ingredients

• 1 cup oatmeal

Instructions

1. Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.
