Notes
Notes: I recommend using natural peanut butter for this recipe (one where the only ingredients are peanuts and salt). Standard peanut butters don’t seem to stick together the same way.Nutrition analysis (approximate per serving, assumes 9 servings): 200 calories, 9 g fat, 2 g sat fat, 125 mg sodium, 27 g carbohydrate, 2.5 g fiber, 18 g sugar, 4.5 g protein, Vitamin A: 3%, Vitamin C: 9%, Calcium: 4%, Iron: 37%Nutrition analysis (approximate per serving, assumes 16 servings): 108 calories, 5 g fat, 1 g sat fat, 70 mg sodium, 15 g carbohydrate, 1.5 g fiber, 10 g sugar, 2.5 g protein, Vitamin A: 2%, Vitamin C: 5%, Calcium: 3%, Iron: 21%
