Brownie Balls

I just can’t keep these in stock, so the recipe is on repeat in my kitchen. To any mom of a growing teen: perfect energy and nutrient dense snack for in between school and sports when they want something that tastes good and will give them some fuel to power through until dinner. Ingredients are easy to keep stocked in the pantry and the balls don’t take long to make – just need a good blender or food processor- Vitamix is what I use. You may sneak a few and here in there when craving a sweet without the wheat.
