Ingredients
Instructions
- Crush the Corn Flakes to a fine consistency.
- Mix together the peanut butter and honey.
- Gradually add nonfat dry milk to the mixture.
- Grease your hands to prevent sticking.
- Form the mixture into balls and roll in the crushed Corn Flakes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy. You can substitute maple syrup for honey if you're looking for a vegan option. If you want to add more flavor, a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance the taste. Make sure to crush the Corn Flakes finely to help the mixture stick together better.
Serving Suggestions
These no-bake honey balls make for a delightful snack on their own, or you can serve them as a sweet treat at parties. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a side of yogurt for a balanced snack. For a unique twist, consider serving them alongside a light salad, like Strawberry Supreme Salad, to contrast the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover honey balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer, you can refrigerate them to extend their freshness, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a way to make these honey balls without peanut butter?
Yes, you can easily substitute peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor profile. If you have allergies, sunflower seed butter is a great nut-free alternative. Just keep in mind that each type of nut butter will alter the taste slightly.
