	Review Date: Fri March 26, 2010 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good flavor Cons: Very easy to make. You may find it easier to mix if you melt the peanut butter just a little in the microwave, no more than 15 seconds. If you do then you will want to freeze them for a few minutes to be able to roll them. I only added 1 cup of the flax and it rolled and tasted great. These are good for those cravings for something sweet.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great Tasting Snack Cons: none This a great tasting and healthy snack. You can also add a little of Almond Butter to this. I put a pecan half on top and everyone loved them. I keep them in the refrigerator after making. They are easier to ball up if you put them in the refrigerator for a short period.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: Sounds good. Honey can cause a big insulin response can't it? I think I will try it without the honey.
	Review Date: Tue January 31, 2012 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Positive aspects of the product (pros): okay after tweaking Cons: Way too much flax! One of two things: Either this has good reviews because no one has had "good" tasting snack in a while, or I missed something. I followed the recipe exactly and tasted a bit - Yuck! I thought there was way too much flax in the recipe - nothing but hulls stuck to the roof of my mouth. All I could taste was flax. I ended up adding a total of 1 cup of PB & about 1/4 cup of Splenda to make these edible. Maybe they'll get better after sitting in the fridge? Bummer 'cause I was really looking forward to these.
