Yum yum yum! I used the coconut, currents in place of raisins, and added a little granola for crunch, and they were delicious. Small, not overly sweet, and substantial for a snack. I spent the entire next day wishing I was at home on the couch eating nutty buddys.

These are wonderful. I made them for a picnic and they were a hit! I made two batches, one rolled in coconut, and another that I dipped half in vegan chocolate then rolled in coconut. Everyone said they tasted just like peanut butter cups! Thanks so much.

Absolutely scrumptious!! I rolled the balls in sunflower seed kernels. Then I froze them in the freezer. I arranged them on a plate, and sprinkled coconut as a garnish. They were absolutely YUMMY.

These sound really good, but is there anything I can substitute the dry soymilk powder for?

These were delicious. My batch made 22 balls, I used shredded walnut as my topping. Tasty and versatile. A keeper.
