No-Bake Granola Balls | Made with Bare Naked Custom Blend Granola

November 3, 2017 by Jennifer 9 Comments

I have a couple of secrets to tell you. First of all, up until now I have never really been fond of anything no-bake. Second of all, the Bear Naked Custom Granola may be the coolest interactive food activity the kids and I have ever created, or eaten.

Let’s back up to the first secret though. Whenever I’ve tried anything no-bake before, it has never really satisfied the rare sweet craving I get. If I want to snack on a treat, it had better taste like a treat!

So when I tell you that these no-bake granola balls are AH-MA-ZING, I really mean it. I’ve gotta tell you though, the secret to what makes them taste so good, is the Bear Naked Custom Granola that the kids and I made online. Plus this granola is Non-GMO Project Verified, so I feel good about feeding it to my kids. Which means a lot to me.

This is seriously the coolest thing ever. You go to their website, and you get to create your own custom blend of granola. THEN, you get to customize and accessorize the name of your granola, and the image on the can.

My kids had a blast turning their little faces into bear images that actually got printed on the granola canister. They felt famous:)

Our Bear Naked Custom Made Granola Blends

We got the chance to make three different blends:

Avila’s Blend – Chocolate granola base, sweet bacon flavored sprinkles, white quinoa crisp, and pretzel

Super Star Blend – Honey granola base, kiwi, raspberry, basil

Cool Dude Blend – Cacao + cashew butter granola, lavender, blackberry, dark chocolate

We ended up using Avila’s Blend for these awesome no-bake granola balls, and the flavor/texture combo could not have been more on point. The combination of the peanut butter and honey, with the chocolate granola, hints of bacon, and crunch of the quinoa and pretzels, are soooo good!!! I mean, you can’t go wrong with bacon and chocolate. (Don’t worry, the bacon isn’t overwhelming at all.)

These no-bake granola balls are so delicious! #ad #bearnakedcustom

How to Make No-Bake Granola Balls

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Bear Naked Custom Granola
  • 1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter
  • 2/3 Cup Honey

Directions:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl
  2. Refrigerate for an hour
  3. Shape the mixture into 1/2 inch round balls
  4. Place the balls on a baking sheet, or in a mini muffin pan
  5. Put back in the fridge for another hour to set
  6. Now you can transfer them into a storage container for easy snacking
  7. Store in the refrigerator (it’s ok to keep at room temp, they just may not hold their shape)

No-Bake Granola Balls

If you want to try your own custom granola (and “bearify” yourself while you’re at it), you can get 10% off of an order with the code BEAR2017 for a limited time. You’re welcome!

I honestly have a hard time finding a pre-made granola that I like. So this is awesome because I can mix-and-match with what I want to have in my granola (they have over 50 different ingredients to choose from).

If you do end up trying it, I would love to hear what flavor combo you came up with! Just leave it in the comments and maybe I’ll try something new next time.

    These look super YUM! I'm a big peanut butter fan, and with the added crunch, it looks like a perfect snack, or quick breakfast. Thanks for sharing!

    My daughter LOVES Bear Naked but I had no idea I could do the custom canister. What a great idea to get the little ones more invested!
