Honey Peanut Balls

Produced by Chantal Braganza and Sun Ngo, Photography by Christie Vuong, Food Styling by Eshun Mott, Prop Styling by Nicole Billark.

The original 1957 version of these make-ahead bonbons were billed as a convenience treat. Sprinkling a bit of childhood-favourite sugary cereal overtop adds a bit of crunch, colour and fun.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (70 g) skim milk powder

  • 1/2 cup commercial-style smooth peanut butter

  • 4 to 5 tbsp honey, divided

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup (70 g) finely chopped roasted, salted peanuts

  • 2 cups fruit-flavoured cereal, crushed

Instructions

  • Combine milk powder with peanut butter, 4 tbsp honey and salt in a medium bowl until a smooth dough forms. Stir in peanuts until incorporated, adding extra tbsp honey only if needed to bring dough together. Refrigerate until mixture is firm to the touch, about 2 hrs.

  • Pinch off portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll in crushed cereal to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
