This is a sweet, delightful treat that is healthy and quick.  No baking required.  Best made in a food processor.  All the seeds should be natural, unroasted, unsalted.  Makes about two dozen small balls – Refridgerate if your family hasn’t eaten them already. 

• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup honey (or less)
• 1/2 cup nut butter (no addititives)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened carob powder or unsweetened coaco
• 1/4 cup wheat bran or oat bran
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut

Add ingredients one at a time and blend until the mixture forms a ball.  Form into bite-sized balls ( you can roll in unsweetened coconut or sesame seeds)

If you don’t have a food processor, just mix all ingredients in a bowl until blended (if you are feeding these treats to toddlers, grind the seeds in a coffee grinder).

Variations:  pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashews, chopped dates, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon or just use your own imagination.
