Directions: 

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl
2. Combine wet ingredients in large saucepan and heat over low heat until melted together and well-combined. 
3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. If mixture is too dry to stick together when pressed, add a bit of water.
4. Wet hands thoroughly and shape mixture into balls of desired size. Press mixture firmly so it will hold. Wet hands after each ball. It will make them more firm and keep the mixture from sticking to your hands.

These store really well in the freezer and are chewy right out of the freezer.
