Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

On Sunday night I had a go at making these Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls from 'That Family' blog.  They were a hit! 

I had to change the recipe slightly as when we tasted them we found them too cocoa-y and a bit strong, so added half a small tin of condensed milk before popping them in the fridge. 

Perfect!

They filled school lunch boxes on Monday, alongside the homemade bread and honey sandwiches, fruit and fromage frais :D

Now what else can I make?!?!
