Since I am still without an oven it has been difficult (though not impossible) to keep myself provided with sweet treats to nibble on in the evenings. But today I dug out my friend Cathy's no-bake recipe for energy balls. They turned out well, I think the secret was to chill the mixture well before trying to roll it into balls.

Granddaughter's 14th birthday yesterday so I was summoned to join the family party. It was lots of fun and a nice meal besides. No cake but we had Creme Brulee (Natalie's choice). I am now officially the smallest person in the family. Beside my tennis friends I feel quite tall as two are shorter than me, but around the grandkids I feel like a shrimp!
I have a lot of no-bake recipes. It seems to be a thing here. Maybe because our Christmas is in summer. I do like the smell of baking, though. Fingers crossed your oven gets fixed soon.
ReplyDeletePlease share your favourite. I am running out of ideas!
DeleteThey do look good and the recipe is readable if you open it in a new window, thank you.

They were a bit sticky to form into balls but chilling the mixture certainly helped.
DeleteMy grandchildren are still all under 6 so still smaller than me but by the way years fly by I'm sure they will be taller in no time at all!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sweet treats
It seems they have shot up while I wasn't looking!
DeleteOoh thanks for sharing the recipe. I am going to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteIt's best to use mini chocolate chips as Cathy suggested (or they fall out).
DeleteYou are quite creative in your ensuing you have treats. Certainly fun getting together with family to celebrate a birthday.
ReplyDeleteI try to have something in the freezer for when my sweet tooth starts aching!
DeleteThe energy bars look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am the shortest person in my family and the boys tower over me as does my sister. I do have one sister in law that is slightly shorter.
God bless.
My daughter was the same height as me but I have since shrunk a bit. The grands take after their dad.
DeleteI feel the same as you, all of my grandchildren are taller than me, as well as one of my great grandsons. Energy bars! I need some of those.
ReplyDeleteYou must have been a child bride to have great-grandkids. I doubt I will live long enough to reach that milestone!
DeleteThey do sound delicious. I'm sure I would struggle to limit myself to eating just one at a time :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Next time I will make them smaller.
