Yummy Flaxseed BonBons
Excellent choice for bored writers!

1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
3/4 cup dried cherries or blueberries
1 cup puffed rice cereal
1/4 cup flaked coconut

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine syrup and tahini and bring just to a bubble. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa. Mix in flaxseed, cherries or blueberries, and cereal.

Place coconut on a plate. Form mixture into balls using approximately one tablespoon for each ball. Roll balls in the coconut until coated. Serve in individual bonbon paper cups if desired.

Variation: Use peanut butter or other nut butter in place of tahini.
