Additional Notes
Adapted from the book Energy Balls by Christal Sczebel.
This batch made about 18 balls. Using a recipe nutritional calculator they came in at about 130 calories per ball.
Note: You can definitely use other dried fruits as the original recipe called for dried pears and dates instead of pineapple and cranberries. I knew my kids wouldn’t eat the dates so I just substituted with ones they would! 😊 I also have used peanut butter instead of cashew butter, and I’m sure you could use whichever type of nut butter works for you.
