These Peanut Butter Jumbles are cholesterol free and have a good amount of fiber. The added protein from the peanut butter and nuts make this a great power “pick me up”. They are great in the afternoon, when you just need something to tie you over. They are also great to pack in the lunch bag. If you are traveling, they are also a welcome treat between stops. If you have a peanut allergy, feel free to make your own version with almond or cashew butter. It should yield a similar result. Vegans can use egg substitute. These are very tasty….and you won’t miss the butter.
