These snacks are only 75% Primal due to the oats, however you are welcome to omit them, but you will need to substitute with more peanuts. This recipe came from my roommate who is a preschool teacher and had her 3-5 year olds make them. If they can do it, so can you. The recipe came from this website. However, true to form, I made my own version.
Recipe for Peanut Butter Powerballs

1 cup of honey

1/2 cup of dried cranberries
Instructions:

2) Add in oats and mix in

Btw. Thanks to all the people that showed up to the potluck.

*Technically* speaking, to be Primal you'd want to go with almond butter & almonds, or some other actual nuts (instead of the legume-y PB & peanuts)...but I don't know of many folks who don't like peanut butter :)
Dude! I make these too!

Oh my! Those looks great! Can't wait to try them out!
Thanks for the great post!
OH GOD - SALIVATING!!!! Yep, making those VERY soon!!!
From what I understand, peanut butter isn't really very primal. From what I gather on Mark's Daily, it actually seems they should be AVOIDED.
I'll try to make a version of these with almond butter and almond meal.
