gutty putty

The name of this kid-friendly snack makes me smile.  My mom used to make a version of this snack for my brother and I growing up.  It was definitely a treat as the tastes of peanut butter and honey blend perfectly together.  And, it was a treat for my body too as the peanut butter provides protein and the flax seed meal provides fiber, anti-oxidants, and of course omega-3 fatty acids.  I now make this for my own children, and I hope they will have the same memories I do when they are older.
