Time 25m

Yield 45-50 balls, 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup smooth peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter- and you could try chunky)
1 cup agave nectar (the nectar's a perfect vegan alternative) or 1 cup corn syrup
1 cup carob powder, sifted (sift then measure)
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup dried shredded coconut

Steps:

In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and sweetener. Stir over med-low heat until melty.
Remove from heat.
GRADUALLY add the carob powder and stir it in- ditto the sesame seeds.
It's easier to roll into balls once the mixture has cooled a little, so if you can, let it sit 5-10 minutes or even refrigerate.
Scoop up a chunk with a spoon and roll it into a walnut-sized ball (1 inch) in your fingers. Put it in a small bowl with the coconut and shake the bowl around till the carob ball is coated.
Store the balls in the fridge. They freeze great, but you'll have to let them thaw or they'll break your teeth!
