To Make A Jar of Healthy Snacks Bites:
- To make a jar of snack bites combine in a mixing bowl a 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/3 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the contents of a jar and mix well. Roll the mixture into balls. Each jar will make approximately 20, 1" balls.
Notes:
If giving the jar as a gift, be sure to include the instructions to combine the jar's contents with a 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/3 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
