16of 19Peanut Butter Stuffed Energy BallsView RecipePhotographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Melissa Gray, Prop Stylist: Joshua HogglePeanuts do double duty in this easy snack recipe: peanut butter makes a creamy center while chopped roasted peanuts add a welcome crunch to the exterior. We prefer to use natural peanut butter, which is a little oilier and looser, to help create the gooey center. Dates add a natural sweetness to this healthy snack. Use any leftover date mixture to patch any holes in the energy balls. Pack these bites in your lunchbox for a tasty morning or afternoon snack.
