One word, YUM! I love protein bars but 1) They're expensive and 2) All protein bars are not created equal.
These protein balls are the perfect, decadent mixture of sweet and salty. I must say the best thing about them is that my 4-year-old loves them and gobbles them up way before any of the junk that sits in our pantry.
