Healthy Treat for Today: Mudballs
ByWho wouldn’t want to eat a Mudball?! These treats give the idea of making mud pies a whole new meaning!
These are great fun to make…and great fun to eat!
Just ask my boys…who have gone through about 4 double batches of them since Jayme sent me the recipe!
As Jayme put it…
“Sometimes we eat them warm right out of the pan…sometimes we eat chill them and then eat them…but mostly…we just EAT them!”
Perfectly said!
You have to try these! They are a great snack to have on hand in the fridge. And they really do just take about five minutes to make.
You’ll find this recipe on the HeavenlyHomeMakers website in the recipe section under desserts…
But I’ll go ahead and post it here too!
Mudballs
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Cook the peanut butter on honey over low heat until melted. Add remaining ingredients. When cool enough to handle roll into oohey gooey mud balls.
Have fun! Let me know if you don’t like the name of these treats just as much as my boys do!

I just made these with my 5 year old son and 9 year old daughter. We used carob chips in place of the chocolate chips. They are really yummy! Thankyou for the great recipes!

I’m new to your blog. I am very health conscious, too and careful about what my 2 children (5 & 2) eat. Thank you for this recipe. I also struggle with snacks, so I am looking forward to trying many of your suggestions!

Would ground flax seeds work as a sub for the wheat germ? I’m gluten-free and can’t have any wheat. Or would you recommend something else? I bet that these would be good with homemade almond butter or cashew butter too!

These are so good. I made up a double batch tonight and put them in truffle wrappers (or mini muffin cups) and boxed them up for my childrens teachers. Thanks so much.

I doubled the recipe but forgot to double the oatmeal. I used sunflower seeds instead of sesame, and crunchy peanut butter and they turned out fabulously! I’m making them again this morning:)

So good. I did not have the seeds or wheat germ. I subbed wallnuts and almonds (chopped). Not only are they yummy, the kiddos had fun making them!
