Look kids, I made you....stuff

My kids will laughingly tell you that Im not one for baking cakes and biscuits. They heap praise and love on me whenever I do venture into sweet land.

I was inspired by my good friend, who has turned her hippy superfood love into a new business venture. She is doing well....vegan, bad stuff free, good stuff infused balls.

So I went shopping for good stuff. $60 later, two bags of super awsome healthy stuff.

I experimented. It turned out sorta ok. Well, all the balls got eaten, even by my son with HFA (High Functioning Autism) who rarely eats anything that is good for him by choice.he said "I dont wanna know whats in this cause it tastes too good"

So heres the recipe: Makes around 25 balls with no cooking needed.
1 cup Quinoa Flakes
1/2 cup Almond Meal
1 cup Oat Bran
2 tblspoons Chia Seeds
1 cup chopped craisins (Cranberry Raisins)
10 chopped Dates
1 cup puffed rice
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
4 tbls melted butter
1 cup honey

Mix all dry ingrediants and fruit
make well in centre and slowly add butter and half the honey mixing well
add more honey as you need it but you may not need all of it. Chia seeds turns glutinous when mixed with water, so you could easily substitute the honey for mixing the chia seeds with water first. I love the honey as you need thew sweetness to convince you its nice.

Lots of mixing. Roll into balls and roll in cocoa and coconut. I added some Milo in as well for extra sweetness.
