                This is my 2nd time to make.  Easy and great tast.  It is very good for snack.  I didn't have just dried fruit.  I used a mix of nuts, fruit and chocolate.

                I made these with almond butter due to my son's allergy. I also used coconut oil instead of butter and added flax seeds. The kids in my son's preschool loved them. His teacher requested the recipe so they could make them in class!

                I put mine onto a square of waxed paper and gave it a twist.  That helped to form the shape and keep it together, and made it not sticky for putting into bags or pockets.

                I made these for my boys and they loved them.  I had raisins in the pantry and used them.  I made them  larger than required,  I will make them again they were so easy and quick.

                Like every Martha Stewart recipe I've made the yield is never what I get. It states 24 - I got 38. Not complaining - just saying.  Great little snack - super easy to make.

                Ladies, PLEASE follow fellow commenters and go to one of the sites
                that give nutritional info on line.  Martha's site is free and it costs you
                nothing to view the site. Maybe if you had to pay for recipes, you
                would have a right to keep complaining. I counted too many complaints today.

                I used sweetened peanut butter and you are right, Chef_Kingston--they WERE too sweet!  However, I love how easy these are to mkae.  I will make them again with maybe maple syrup (and less of it), and add peanuts too.

                There are good free nutrition calculators on line like the one here: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp   To lower the calories and fat on this recipe, I would use light unsalted butter, Better 'n Peanut Butter (has only 100 Cal and 2gm fat per 2TBL), and substitute 2C of Kashi Go Lean for cereal and oats. You could also add a couple TBLS of chopped peanuts with your dried fruit to add crunch, as well as chopping the fruit which will help the whole thing stay together better.

                These were delicious, just a little messy.  Kept falling apart when you tried to eat them. Maybe I may need to add a little more honey next time.

                I used Skippy Extra Chunky peanut butter, dried cherries, and raisins because that's what I had on hand. These turned out really well, though I consider them a dessert!

                I subscribe to the magazine and there is a calorie/nutrition index in the back.  I looked it up in the April 2007 issue and here is the breakdown.  Hope this helps.
                per ball: 61 cal, 2.5g fat (0.8g sat fat), 1.2g protein, 8.8g carb, 0.6g fiber

                For Thomalyn - I use calorie-count.com to calculate my recipes.  You just type in ingredients and number of servings and it calculates all nutrition info per serving.

                The butter and peanut butter were already soft when I made these, so I just creamed them together and then, because of the comments on them being crumbly, I put them in the paper liners and baked for 10-15 minutes at 350.  They came out great after they were chilled.  I also added peanuts to give crunch.  I added raisins as my dried fruit, but next time may try something else or leave it out since it made it too sweet.

                I used sunflower butter instead of peanut butter.  Just as good without the fear of allergic reaction.

                I bet you could also just drop them onto a silpat or other similar liner in small balls and then refrigerate...then just peel off and put in a container. I'll have to try and see if it works.

                Wondering if it is recommended to make this with sweetened or unsweetened peanut butter. I would think that using sweetened peanut butter might make it too sweet but I don't know.

                These  were tasty, but fell apart really easily.  They were hard to eat since they didn't stay in their 'ball' like shape.  I used peanut butter from one of those grinding machines that are found in natural food stores.  I wonder if I used peanut butter from a jar, if perhaps they would stay more solidified.
