Hi everyone. These are gluten free and are made with my Niece’s help (we did them yesterday after lunch ( Thursday)). We test tasted one each and they were/are really good! The coconut is shredded and unsweetened. You roll the balls in the coconut before you put them into the refrigerator to get cold and thickened up. Put honey, rice crispies, raisins and the creamy peanut butter in the bowl and mix all together before using the coconut shreds. Use a separate container for the shredded coconut and start rolling each ball in it to cover them as much as possible. Repeat the rolling each time. There can be 16-30 balls total and take 1 hour and 15 minutes for it to be done cooking. Enjoy!😀👍🌈

These look yum! I'm allergic to raisins but I could substitute them for dried cherries and almond butter instead of peanut butter. They would be an alternative to a Bakewell Tart. Thanks for recipe, Leah.
TT x.
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy them!😀👍🌈
Ooh they look and sound delicious, I love unsweetened shredded coconut, I use it a fair bit. I also love peanut butter.🌈😋😊

Enjoy your dinner Leah👍🌈😊😋
Enjoy! You just need a few bowls, measuring cups, tray with wax paper and the ingredients and spoons for mixing.😀👍👍🌈
Get a refrigerator, the ingredients, a timer and enjoy when it’s done.😀👍🌈
No stove necessary!😀👍🌈
It’s okay! We had some shreddings land on the table when we did the rolling in the coconut.
Cook is right, but not hot/stove needed.
Fantastic! 😀👍🌈
I may try with gf corn flakes instead of rice - gives me acid reflux. Or rolled oats?
Sounds great! Let me know what you find out after it’s done!😀👍🌈
Ooooh Activity, they look yummy, I love coconut and peanut butter but I've never had them together. Thanks for sharing. x
You’re welcome! Please let me know what you think after trying them.😀👍🌈
I want one!
Thank you! We had the leftovers for dinner tonight.
They look delicious. I am going to make them with my granddaughter at half term. I might be missing something but where does the cooking come in? I presume they just need an hour in the fridge.
That's right. You mix everything together, roll in coconut or what you want to substitute the shreddings for and then put them in the refrigerator 1 hour and 15 minutes ( add another 15 mins. if necessary) then enjoy when you want to eat them. 
I thought it would be but with you saying cook I thought I would check. Definitely going to make them at half term. Thank you.
You're welcome! Enjoy! Please let me know what you think when you have them.
Those look so great . Cooking is not my forte that looks like something even I can have I'm going to ask a dumb question you mentioned cooking does that mean baking and at what temperature I don't see that in your instructions. Can you use a sugar free substitute or would that alter it too much?
You could try sugar free items. There's no heating up anything. Just mix and roll in coconut (or substituted items) and then put in the refrigerator. Comes out really good! I'm type 1, so I'm very careful about the carb. counting for each meal/snack and/or treat I have during the day/evening. Thanks for asking!

Wow, these look so good. 👍😊🌸
Thank you, bobbybobb ! They were even better last night with dinner. The peanut butter (creamy) was helpful since it had the protein part of the snack. The shredded coconut was unsweetened, but still works well, too.
Those look like a delicious sweet treat Leah, but with some quite natural ingredients. I shall give those a try.

Thank you, Hidden for saying that! They were really good and I may have to have my Niece help again with a new batch in a few weeks.
Hi Hidden ,
Yes, they were really delicious and even my brother liked them. The best part is, if you don't want to use coconut or some other part of the recipe's ingredients, just substitute and add what you want. My parents didn't want the coconut for their rice balls, so they used cereal that I don't eat since that one has wheat in it. The rest were gluten free.
They look just my thing- so yummy! I must have a go at making some.
Thank you! Please let me know how you like them after you try them.
I am not usually sweet toothed but love coconut. These look delicious
Coconut is one of the things I like to eat.
Thank you! I agree!
