I created these delicious healthier peanut butter balls so I could still enjoy peanut butter balls without the guilt! I've made this recipe countless times and it is a family favorite.

1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup crisp rice cereal, crushed
½ – 1 cup powdered sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup quick cooking oats (or old fashioned)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 2 tablespoons wheat germ
Optional: 8 oz chocolate bark, or any type of chocolate candy coating (chocolate chips work as well, just add 1-2 tablespoons of shortening )

Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix all ingredients together except for the vanilla extract. Once the peanut butter mixture is smooth mix in the vanilla extract. Line a baking sheet with wax paper....
