No-bake Peanut Butter Balls

When our family wants a fast sweet treat we make Peanut Butter balls! They are no-bake and filled with healthy ingredients like: oats, natural peanut butter, toasted coconut flakes, and ground flax seed. I also like these in place of a energy bar when I am mountain biking or hiking.
