It's Friday my loves! I am so very happy to report that I have made it! I was getting worried there for a minute. I have been so stressed out lately! Yesterday something came in the mail for me and boy was I excited. There has been a peanut butter that I have wanted to try forever. In the blog world I have been reading about this variety and have only read rave reviews. What is the name of this company?

I got four jars of Krema peanut butter, crunchy and smooth and creamy. You know as soon as I got these I had to break them open! I tried the crunchy first and the first thing that I noticed was how the peanut butter almost dripped right off the spoon. Usually when I am using peanut butter for my oats or almost anything else I warm it up in the microwave to get a really creamy version. Well, you don't have to do that at all with this brand. Even the crunchy one. The creamy was even better! What I like about both of these are that it is all natural and has no bad stuff in it. It is not overly sweet and just the right flavor. The peanut butter flavor is amazing. Truly one of the best that I have tried and that says a lot. I give this brand a 10! I should have gotten on this stuff ages ago. Please go to their site to see for yourself just how great these folks really are!
You will see that they have a lot to offer in the pb department. While I was checking out their site I noticed the recipe section. They have some amazing recipes and you know with four jars I will be trying out at least one! I decided that I would make one of my holiday favorites. This is so simply and will sure to be the hit of the party if you bring this to your holiday gathering. This recipe has a whopping 4 ingredients and is the HEALTHY version of your regular two
Krema Peanut Butter Balls:
3/4 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. powdered milk
1/3 c. honey
8 crushed graham crackers
Wheat germ
Mix first 4 ingredients. Form in small balls and roll in the wheat germ. 
I added a little bit of oatmeal to mine as well just to make it a complete protein! These babies are amazing and the reason why is the peanut butter. I bet you didn't think that a healthy version of peanut butter balls were possible! Well now you know. You can have your peanut butter and eat it too! After having a stress full week these are just what I needed. You can add anything to these balls. Coconut, gogi berries, cinnamon, raisins, the list could go on.
Thanks so much Nanette for sending me these jars. What a perfect time! I hope you all try out this recipe and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
