Not a dumb question at all. I just add the chocolate chips in with the hot peanut butter and honey after I’ve taken the mixture off the heat. It still melts as I stir them in, then I roll them into balls. Hope that makes sense!

These sound good! One question (sorry if this is a dumb question): do you melt the chocolate chips? I wasn’t sure if you melt the PB and honey and then just throw the solid chips in there and start rolling, or if the chocolate chips are supposed to be melted first. Thanks for clarifying!

Very good. I also substituted flax seed for the wheat germ so that I could share with a friend who is gluten free. My only problem with this recipe is that it makes WAY to few mudballs. (Especially since I will have to share with the rest of the family! haha)

I tried these this afternoon. I didn’t have wheat germ, so I subbed flax meal, and used 100% baking chocolate (the bar you find in the baking section of the grocery store) that I’d run through a food processor until it was almost powder. They were very good!

I’ve not tried it, but I think it should work okay!

My 2 and 3 year old just made these. Awesome! Thank you for a fun healthy snack my kids can enjoy. My 3 year old kept saying how much they look like horse poop. He insisted it looked like horse poop! Too cute! Thankfully they don’t taste like that!

I made one batch of these last night and they’re already gone . . . so, I made two batches tonight! Like others, I replaced the wheat germ with flax meal. I added a little salt (about 1/8 tsp per batch), since my peanut butter doesn’t contain any and the recipe seemed to need a little to work with the sweet flavor. For my second batch tonight, I popped up a little amaranth and added it in place of half of the flax meal. They’re yummy that way, too! It’s obviously a very flexible recipe! Thanks a bunch for posting it.
