If you're in a pinch for time, I have something just for you. Here's a quick and easy gluten free cookie recipe that requires no baking. I really like making no bake (think no hassle) cookies during the hectic holidays. This one works equally well for Christmas and Hanukkah parties –and is a wonderfully healthy snack throughout the year.
For those of you who aren't entirely in the mood for Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls and are looking for a chocolate covered peanut butter ball, be sure to see Nut Butter Cups recipe –it's a delicious no bake, healthier candy recipe that is quite the crowd-pleaser. My husband and children devour them.
This little dessert is my peanut-y version of the raw foods classic Fudge Babies, a recipe created by the wonderful Katie over at Chocolate Covered Katie.

has anyone tried using peanut or almond butter? are they too soft?
Peanuts are not Paleo. Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts, or some other tree nut YES!
Thanks Chuck! I cover all of this in my ‘What is the Paleo Diet’ post here:

While I make the Power Balls quite often, I just tried this one for the first time and loved it! It would be pretty rolled in finely chopped peanuts, also.
Awesome!! I made these this week to bring in for a holiday treat after a crossfit workout. I couldn’t believe how tasty they were since they were SO easy. After I rolled them, I chilled in the fridge for a bit and then rolled them in Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips. This is a definite keeper!
Why are they called peanut “butter” balls?
FYI – for those of you wondering how much this makes. I got about 20 balls out of it.
