Power Crunch Rum Balls

Rum balls are by far one of my favorite Christmas treats!  But this year I wanted to try to add a bit of protein to the mix.  Calorie for calorie, there's not much difference between my traditional rum balls and the Power Crunch Ball but my traditional version is loaded with unnecessary sugar and gives you absolutely nadda in terms of protein!

These are easy to make and only approximately 2 grams of sugar per ball.  This is still a treat (not for everyday), but a lot better for your insulin levels than your usual Christmas goodies!  Yes, they have a healthy amount of fat, but all from palm oil and walnuts, which are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids!  Take them to your next holiday party!  I wonder if they'll know it has protein???

Power Crunch Rum Balls

8 French Vanilla Creme Power Crunch Bars

1 cup of walnuts

2 Tbsp. Barcardi golden rum

In a blender or food processor, blend your Power Crunch bars and walnuts together until condensed to a powder.  Pour in a medium sized bowl.  Add rum and mix with a spoon.  Using a tablespoon, put a spoonful of mix in your hand and form into a ball.  

Mix should make 24 balls.
