Powerballs

from the Kitchen of Kelly - Mother of Julia and Campbell
Ingredients:
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup honey
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• 1 cup dried fruit

Instructions:
1. Mix together peanut butter and honey until smooth.  Gradually add oats and ground flaxseed. Add sesame seeds and any combination soft dried fruit (chopped apricots and plums are our favorites) and mix gently in your stand mixer or smush together by hand.
2. Roll into Ping-Pong-size balls and, for maximum presentation value, put in paper mini muffin cups. You can eat them right away, but they’ll be less sticky after a night in the fridge. They freeze well too, layered on wax paper.
