Pretty good. I reduced the honey to about 1/4 cup and rolled the balls in more dry milk powder. Everyone loved these! =)

Anyone with a child who likes to cook has to make this recipe. My two year old had so much fun making these with me. He could even help roll in the coconut and there is no baking so he helped with the whole process. To top it off they are delicious and addicting and healthy!! What can I say, I just love everything about this recipe....except I prefer using crunchy peanut butter to give them more texture. thanks for the great recipe!

This is such an easy and surprisingly tasty treat! My little brother really loved rolling them in chocolate jimmies (we didn't have any coconut!) and my siblings really liked them. I do think that they are a little to sweet, however, and the dough was pretty sticky. If I make them again, I will cut the amount of honey to 1/3 cup to solve both of those problems. Thanks for sharing!

Very tasty, and my 6-year-old could do the whole recipe nearly by herself. She was very proud of the results. The 4H judge at our fair gave only great comments!

These are great! The addition of the wheat germ to the original recipe I had used years ago is wonderful! The kids had fun making and eating these!

Loved this! I only used 1/2 cup of honey and added wheat bran, oat bran, *and* oatmeal in place of the wheat germ. I made them with kids and we had so much fun rolling them in sprinkles and chocolate shavings! Yum!

I loved this recipe when I was in elementary school and had been looking for it for some time - thanks! We leave out the coconut flakes and fold in things like nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips to change up the flavor a bit. Great snack for a long trip - boosts energy without a sugar rush!

These were pretty good!Does not really have the texture of a cookie, but who cares! The only difference i made was that i added a few raisins for some chew.Honestly I didnt really think they'd taste that good so i made this test batch of 6 cookies.....mistake!

These are delicious candies/cookies, but you might really want to refrigerate the dough before shaping the balls. As other reviewers already mentionned, it should be great to drizzle some melted chocolate on top of the moonbeams, or even to dip them in melted chocolate! Great way to include fiber in your peanut butter cravings.

Easy and addictive. Great way to "sneak" in healthy ingredients! I didn't have any coconut at home at the time. So to try and make them less sticky, I crushed chex cereal and added cocoa powder to chex then rolled dime-sized balls in chex/cocoa. Then I popped them in the freezer. YUMMY! Can't wait to try them with coconut.

I made this for my husband and kids. It was pretty rich and tasty. I didn't exactly find it simple though as it was sticky and a bit messy to assemble. A word of caution: you honestly do not need that much honey. Next time I would maybe do more like a half cup.

I thought these tasted great. I also added oats and flaxseed meal and refrigerated them because they were still very sticky. My daughter ate them, but she didn't like them as much as I did!

I loved these!! Thanks for the recipe. It was a favorite of mine as a child, but no one remembered how to make them. My daughter and I had a great time making them. Yummy!
