All-Star Fudgy Baseballs and Bats 

1 cup Carob powder

1 cup Water

1/4 cup Honey

1/4 cup Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

3/4 cup Wheat germ

3/4 cup Rolled oats

2 Tbs Dry milk powder

1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut

1 tsp Cinnamon (optional)

1/2 tsp Grated orange rind (optional)

-- In a small saucepan, combine the carob and water. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent  scorching. Add the honey and peanut butter and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until syrup is smooth and slightly thickened.

-- In a large bowl, mix together the wheat germ, oats, milk powder, coconut, cinnamon, and orange rind (if desired).

-- Pour about one cup of the carob syrup over the dry mixture, or as much as is needed to make a pliable, dough-like consistency. Store the remainder in the refrigerator and use as an icing or to make great milk shakes.

-- Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll each piece between your palms into 2-inch-long tubes about the circumference of a fountain pen, tapered at one end in the shape of a baseball bat. Roll the rest

-- into marble-sized balls.
