Imogene Little’s No-Bake (and No-Poison!) Peanut Butter Balls
Related Story: “Nefarious New Year” by Paige Sleuth
A suspected poisoning leads Cherry Hills, Washington animal rescue maven Imogene Little to spend New Year’s Eve 1999 tracking down a would-be murderer.
Cherry Hills animal rescue maven Imogene Little likes these sweet treats because they’re easy to make and contain no animal products (she uses vegan sugar). They’re also hard to mess up. Feel free to experiment with the ingredients according to your own tastes and what you have on hand.
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1 Tbsp coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar or enough to coat
-
Blend all ingredients except the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a food processor or blender until fine.
-
Stir in the peanut butter in small increments until the mixture holds together. Everything should stick together but not be too sticky.
-
Roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
-
Coat with powdered sugar.
-
Eat! Or refrigerate and enjoy within five days.
