I am Roberto (Rtestdoc) and I gave you the peanout butter balls. My partner was Mike. I am glad if we were able to help, even a little. By the time we got down to the parking lot, we heard the hiker's pack was found and he had gone to the summit. I am glad it turned out well. I promised you the recipe for the peanut butter balls and here it is, Enjoy it and share it with others. See you on the trail.

Original Recipe from internet (
www.backpacking-guide.com/backpacking-recipes.html)
2 cups crunchy peanut butter
1 cup milk powder (for protein)
Add honey (stir in until it tastes sweet enough)
1/4 cup softened unsalted butter (1/2 a stick)
Add in whatever you want (nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, soy nuts)
Stir in a handful of quick oats (regular oats are too big)
Roll the ball in oats to make it less sticky to handle.
Actual recipe used was only one quarter of the above and it still made enough to form four bars about the size of a granola bar.
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup milk powder
Didn't measure honey but probably used at least 1/4 cup
1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter (1/8 of a stick)
A large handful of Albertson's mixed nuts (included peanuts, pecans, almonds & cashews)
A large handful of sunflower seed kernels
A large handful of Nestle's milk chocolate chips (found in baking aisle)
A large handful of quick oats
Mix all the above together and then put more quick oats on a piece of wax paper, divide your mixture into 4 parts, and roll each one gently in the oats while making them any shape you want. Store in refrigerator to firm them up more.
