Notes

This recipe is based on my perfected Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Balls. When followed as written, the mixture is easy to handle and the bites hold together beautifully without crumbling.

Is it absolutely necessary to refrigerate before rolling? It keeps the dough from sticking to your hand, so it's highly recommended.

I use a small cookie scoop that holds about one tablespoon.
