Oatmeal Truffles to Go

What’s the most important rule of traveling?

Pack good snacks!! This weekend marks number 3 of my 4 states in 4 weekends adventure. I’m not traveling far this time, but snacks are still a must.

I’m a little tired of granola bars, bags of dry cereal, and crackers, so I went with something a little more exciting this time around.

Oatmeal truffles! They couldn’t be easier: no baking, 4 or so ingredients, and healthy yet delicious.

Melt peanut butter and milk in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until melted. Gently stir in chocolate chips. {I like mine to keep the chocolate “chunk” flavor- if you want them all around chocolately, stir until their entirely melted.}

Mix in oatmeal. Stir in a little bit at a time- it’s easier to add more oats than to add more peanut butter.

Peanut butter mixture should coat oats, but will still be a little crumbly.

Using your hands, form oats into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls. Set on nonstick surface and place in the refrigerated until cooled.

They taste pretty good warm, but they get a little moister after sitting for a little while.

Who said road food couldn’t be good?!
