| This is what I am GOING TO call a energy candy ball....... cuz that is what it is. |
I was in search of a easy to make no bake snack that would give me energy . I choose this Coconut Walnut ball recipe -- I found this recipe in the worlds healthiest foods book. I give this 5 stars mainly because it is easy to make. I also love the taste. These are like eating a lemon lime candy-- no baking and non dairy as well.
