LOOKS GREAT BUT HOW DO I MAKE THEM INTO BALLS AND COVER THEM WITH CHOCOLATE? SORRY BUT I’MCONFUSED!
Sorry about that, Marianne, I had not updated the recipe after I completely it. It is correct now.
Can you use steel cut oats instead of old fashioned regular oats?
Just four ingredients and one of them is PB and another is chocolate – yes, am in love with these little balls of deliciousness!
