So to get ready for the Sea Otter Classic Cycling Festival, I made a batch of my Peanut Butter Nut Eggs but as Balls, and without the chocolate covering, which the original recipe has them as.
These were perfect for a day walking all around in the sun and even better for the recovering athlete. I was also pleasantly surprised on how well they traveled (never fell apart in my baggie!) You could stuff a bag of these in your jersey pocket and I'm sure they'd still keep form, especially if you shape them into bars...Enjoy!
