Healthy Fudge Balls

These healthy fudge balls are an easy no-bake snack or dessert kids can help make. Made with peanut butter, raisins, honey, and powdered milk, they can be rolled in cocoa powder, coconut, nuts, or powdered sugar for fun flavor variations.

Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup honey, barley malt, or brown rice syrup
1 cup instant powdered milk
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Optional coatings: toasted wheat germ, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or powdered sugar

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, raisins, honey, and powdered milk. Stir well until a thick dough forms. Break off small pieces of dough and roll each into a small ball. Roll the balls in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, wheat germ, chopped nuts, or powdered sugar. You can use different coatings for variety. Place the coated balls onto a plate or tray and allow them to dry slightly before serving. Store leftovers in a cool place or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Yield: About 18 to 24 fudge balls depending on size.

Kid Cooking Tip

Kids can help mix the dough, roll the balls, and choose different coatings for each batch.

Variation Ideas

Try sunflower seed butter, mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, oats, cinnamon, or chia seeds for different flavors and textures.

Serving Ideas

Serve as healthy snacks, lunchbox treats, after-school snacks, party desserts, or quick energy bites.

No-Bake Snack Idea: These fudge balls are perfect for younger kids because they require no oven baking and help practice measuring, mixing, and rolling skills.
