Hey - I need to ask...
I have 2 recipes, I know we arent supposed to have the honey but it can be substituted. They are both good. Hope this helps.

Peanut Butter Protein Power Balls
1 cup Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Honey
1-1/4 cup Powder splenda
1 tsp. Watkins peanut butter flavoring
1 cup nonfat powdered milk, NOT reconstituted, just the powder
Put it all in a bowl and mix it until it binds to itself and not to the bowl. Roll into 30 balls. Each ball is one complete block. You can roll them in cocoa powder to make them even more appealing to the kiddies in our families and in our selves.
Note: If you can't find reduced fat peanut butter, you can try using a natural peanut butter and pouring some of the fat off the top. That peanut oil has about 14 grams of fat per tablespoon, so you may have to do a little computing to figure out what you are doing with making your OWN reductions.
You might also want to consider: if you are feeding these to kids or if you are in maintenance, then the extra oil of the regular peanut butter is not an issue. Both groups need the extra fat, and it is a wonderful monounsaturated fat source.
2 cups finely crushed gingersnaps
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
6 T melted butter/margarine
3 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
Peanut Butter Protein Balls
> 1 Cup smooth peanut butter
> 1 Cup quick rolled oats
> 1 Cup protein powder
> ¾ cup honey (optional)
> Mix together and form into balls about the size of a walnut. Keep refrigerated. These are great as a quick, high protein, pick-me-ups. For more protein and to keep those from sticking together roll them in crushed nuts or oatmeal
