Sesame Peanut Butter Balls

I actually dont know what to call these, but i guess sesame Peanut Butter Balls are appropriate as that is what is in the ;)

So basically as you all know my oven broke – BOO! So i had to figure out something that was semi good for me and required no cooking that would satisfy my sugar craving for the weekend.

And i have to tell you that this one actually tasted good, and quite awesome for a hot summers night as it was last night.  This one is another wheat free treat – all natural and not too sweet!

Stuff you’ll need

  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 2/3 cup coconut
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup dates (the photo shows saltanas but when i used dates it worked better)
  • 1/3 cup water

How i did it

So like almost all of my wheat free treats this one is uber simple! In a saucepan place the dates and water and bring to the boil / until the dates are softened.  Dry toast the sesame seeds in a pan, lower the heat and add the peanut butter and honey.  Add the coconut then the dates.  You should have a moist consistancy.  Roll small portions into balls and place in the freezer for an hour or so – until they are firm, it would work in the fridge its just i like super cold stuff.

Oh and if you were feeling fancy you could dip them in dark chocolate… Or replace the dates for dried apricots if you like.
