Choc Muesli Bites

These bite size treats are perfect for when you are craving something a little sweet without a gazillion calories. They are also quick and easy to whip up with no baking required. You can vary the recipe to make it even healthier or to suit your own taste. I just grabbed what I had handy in the pantry, but next time I might try my own selection of fruit and nuts. For those counting calories, each ball is about 83 calories.

The puffed rice in Carman's Deluxe Muesli almost gives a chocolate crackle texture to the balls. My sons loved them. Unfortunately though, they are no good as school snacks for them as their school is a nut free zone.

You can mix ingredients by hand or in a Thermomix (both versions of the recipe are below).
