INGREDIENTS:
- 1 c Carob powder
- 1 c Water
- 1/4 c Honey
- 1/4 c Peanut butter (smooth or cru
- 3/4 c Wheat germ
- 3/4 c Rolled oats
- 2 tb Dry milk powder
- 1/2 c Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 ts Cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 ts Grated orange rind (optional)
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a small saucepan, combine the carob and water.
- Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Add the honey and peanut butter and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until syrup is smooth and slightly thickened.
- In a large bowl, mix together the wheat germ, oats, milk powder, coconut, cinnamon, and orange rind (if desired).
- Pour about one cup of the carob syrup over the dry mixture, or as much as is needed to make a pliable, dough-like consistency.
- Store the remainder in the refrigerator and use as an icing or to make great milk shakes.
- Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll each piece between your palms into 2-inch-long tubes about the circumference of a fountain pen, tapered at one end in the shape of a baseball bat.
- Roll the rest into marble-sized balls.
