This one is fun to make with kids. Even the littlest toddler can help.
Those who are good with playclays will love making these.

1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey*
1/3 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup Cocoa Pebbles

In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter with syrup or honey. (This is fun.
First it looks like it's going to turn out really soupy, but as you keep
stirring, it thickens and dries out a bit.)

Next put in the powdered milk, and stir it in. If it seems a bit crumbly,
use clean hands to mush the whole thing together. If the texture isn't
friendly, feel free to add a little more of this or that (this recipe does
not need precision to work).

Put the Cocoa Pebbles in a fair sized ziplock bag and roll over it again
and again with a rolling pin till the cereal becomes a fine powder.

Roll the peanut butter mixture up into bite-sized balls and drop them one
at a time into the bag. (The littlest kid in the group can periodically
shake the closed bag.) You can store them in the bag or remove them to a
covered container for a snack on the go. If you live in an area hot as
Midland Texas, refrigerate them between servings. Otherwise, they keep well
enough at room temperature.

 * do not use honey with tots before their first birthday
