Power bars, but in ball form. You could press the mixture into a baking tin, refrigerate and then cut into bars… I thought about doing that. But in all honesty, I was lazy and decided it is much easier to roll into balls instead. Either way, they are quick & simple to make with quite a few possible variations… In fact, I have posted similar recipes here and here and made a similar version using dried, unsweetened papaya instead of the dried blueberries and macadamia nuts instead of the hazelnuts. Tasty!
