Peanut Butter Honey-Raisin Balls

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 6 graham cracker squares, made into crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Measure the peanut butter this way.  Spray a 1/2-cup measuring cup with nonstick spray.  Scoop out the peanut butter and press it into the cup.  Continue scooping and pressing until the peanut butter is level with the top of the cup.  Dump the peanut butter into a small mixing bowl.  Measure the honey in a measuring spoon that has been coated with nonstick spray.  Crumble the graham crackers into the bowl with the honey peanut butter.  They don't need to be perfectly crumbed.  Add the vanilla and raisins.  Stir the mixture until it is chunky and thick.  Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to firm up. 

Using 1-tablespoon of the mixture for each piece, scoop the candy onto a plate.  If you measure accurately you should have 16 pieces.  Place the powdered sugar into a small bowl.  Roll each ball of candy in the powdered sugar.  Place them back on the plate and cover with plastic wrap.  Chill for several hours or overnight.  Serve cold.  These will keep for a week in the fridge, if they last that long, which they won't.  The recipe is easily doubled.  To be fancy you can arrange each candy in a small paper cup.  They make a great gift.

This is a great recipe for kids to make by themselves, with an adult available for consultation.
