The perfect Lil snack

Happy Monday! Been so busy this week getting ready to finally move into our Lil place! We've been treasure hunting n DIY'ing all week! Very excited to share in upcoming posts!

Meanwhile my absolute favorite food blogger weelicious has her first cookbook coming out 2mrw!! The excitement is literally through the roof! This is a must for families!! Especially mine lol. This is one of my favorite recipes of hers...Chewy granola balls! Perfect to pop in your mouth for a healthy Lil pick me up. Coolest part is like most of her recipes you can adapt them to what you have on hand or whatever your feeling that day. Sometimes I like to add chocolate chips and dried cherries or butterscotch chips and dried apricots for a sweet treat you can feel good about giving your little ones : ) hope you enjoy these as much as we do ! I plan to enjoy a few while I dive into the cookbook!!!
                                     also linked up for another awesome weekend potluck!

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup any nut butter you prefer ( the organic or natural ones work the best here)
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1 cup rice crispys
1 1/2 cups granola
1/4 cup dried fruit chopped

Mix the nut butter and syrup in a small saucepan over low to medium heat and warm for 2 minutes or until it smooth and together..
Then put the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix..
Then you pour the warm nut butter mixture into the bowl with the granola mixture and stir it all together..
 And now you roll about a tablespoon into a ball.. Enjoy!
(This isn't necessary but I like to freeze the balls on a plate for an hour n then store them in the fridge we like to eat them cold. =))
